In order to enable the snapshot backup for a client, we have to add the following entries to the bp.conf of media servers. Does anyone know if we have to add it to bp.conf of master server?
CONNECT_OPTIONS = clientname 0 1 1
I don't believe you need to do that...
I don't recall needing to run through the step you listed. I could be wrong, however.
I referenced the Advanced Client Documentation
What is the OS of your master/media servers and the client you wish to run snapshots on?

My test proved you have to
My test proved you have to add the following entry to both master and media servers.
CONNECT_OPTIONS = client_name 0 1 1 #This is a sample entry in bp.conf of master and media servers.
For snapshot backups, you don't need to add the CONNECT_OPTIONS to bp.conf of master server. But without the entry in the master server bp.conf, the snapshot restore will fail with error code 5. Moreover, in order for the snapshot restore working, you have to add the following entry to client's bp.conf.
OLD_VNETD_CALLBACK = YES
All of the master/media
All of the master/media server and clients are running Solaris.
