Editing SLP Destinations in 7.x

[verbose5]

I began examining SLP backlog on a Netbackup 7.1 domain this week, and I suspect that there has been a history of editing SLP destinations.  The old 6.5 best practices document strictly warned, "Do not edit a Storage Lifecycle Policy while it has images that are in process."

Page 13: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH72248

Also, an individual technote:  http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH70005

However, the warning does not appear in the 7.1 Best Practices.  Before I get dig deeper into an infortunate problem, I just want to confirm here that I am not missing something, and that this warning still applies in 7.x

verbose5, nothing wrong with editting a SLP policy while jobs are in progress. I would just go with it.

I think it's fine - but any jobs that have been processed by nbstserv will goto the 'previous' destination.

It's fine to do that, but if your "previous" destination (storage unit) is not working the incomplete image would just keep retrying until you "nbstlutil cancel -backupid" them.

If you prefer not to cancel the retry, but rather changing the "previous" destination (storage unit), lookup for the SLP version by doing "nbstl -L -all_versions" and change the storage unit of your particular version, command to do that in:
