Can you confirm what ports were opened and was the port opening uni-directional or bidirectional?

Also does bpclntcmd work from the client and the media/master server

bpclntcmd: -sv
bpclntcmd: -pn
bpclntcmd: -self
bpclntcmd: -hn <hostname>
bpclntcmd: -server <NBU master>
bpclntcmd: -ip <ipaddress>
bpclntcmd: -gethostname

Hi Isat,

Whats the OS running on the Client server and the master/media server. If the client is running Linux is xinetd running on there. If yes have you added the relevant services to hosts.allow?

edit /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf to include the line:
ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS = yes

If the file /etc/hosts.allow exists then these entries will need to be appended to it:
bpcd: 10.
vopied: 10.
bprd: 10.
vnetd: 10.

The ports are sufficient for client backups to work if you want to be secure.

13720
13721
13724

• On the client:

netstat -a | grep bpcd

bpcd is the daemon that listens for netbackup requests. It must be running.

• Hostname resolution consistency is very important in netbackup, and it's one of the first things worth checking if netbackup can't connect to the new client. Netbackup provides the command /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd to check DNS through netbackup.

• On the master server:

telnet <client> bpcd
Check for firewall, or if netbackup itself is closing the connection.

• On Redhat, you may need to install compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm. On x86 architecture, install libgcc-3.4.6-8.i386.rpm first.

• On Linux, you may also need to install and/or start xinetd - don't forget to use chkconfig to ensure it starts on boot

Host Properties -> Master Servers -> right-click hambck01 and select 'Properties'

Select Firewall, click Add, enter hostname, click Add then Close. Client will be added to the bottom of the list. Select the new client, and change the attributes to match the other clients, ie:

Select Connect Options tab, and in BPCD connect back, select 'VNETD port'
In Ports, select 'Connect on non-reserved port'
Daemon Connection - 'VNETD port'

Can you confirm if this works after using the above steps.

Check the port usage guide.

You didnt confirm if the ACL's were applied uni-directional or bi-directional if it was Uni-directional then can you get them changed to bi-directional for the ports 13720 13721 and 13724.
