How to Disable snapshot backups in NBU 7.5.0.4

[Baski]

Hi Team,

I can enable or Disable by using below command for both FS ( File system) and Snapshot backups in NBU 6.5.6

 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo <policy Name> -modify -inactive

 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo <policy Name> -modify -active

But when I tried on NBU 7.5.0.4 it is showing below error for Snapshot backups

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpplinfo <policy Name> -modify -inactive
Unsupported keyword in snapshot method arguments: iosize=1,num_sync_vols=2,slow=0,sync_wait=1,async_resync=1,max_snapshots=1,resnap_interval=1

is there any way to disable snapshot backups ( we are using VXVM)

Master/Media/clients on are Solaris 5.10

And also how to change/modify schedule timining and data ( in Calander schedule) by using CLI ( since snapshot backups required both )

Appreciate your help

Provide the output of bppllist <policyname> -U

Also post "bppllist policy_name -L".

The same error I have faced and I have fixed it doing by below method.

Open your policy from GUI and click advanced client option, just load your vxvm parameters then just say Apply and OK, It will verify your snapshot options and close the policy. Then try deactivating from command line it will work.

it's one time work, Once you are done you can deactivate/reactive multiple times with out any issues.

For me, It looks like bug in 7.5.0.4, However give a try and let us know the result.
