    You can achieve that via proxycp.jar, Find out the name of the VM by using --listvm and then by following option you can set CBT

    root@aevm40:~/#: java -jar /usr/local/avamar/bin/proxycp.jar --cbtstatus --enablecbt --vm AEESX-VMTEST

    I believe that if the change block option was set after the clients were already activated and added to the Avatar VM domain then it will not take affect until the VM has been powered off and back on.

    Amol Powar:  Thank you. This worked.

    How about doing the same for 100 VM's/All the VM's in a group or container. Do I need to execute the command one by one for all the VM's?
