Moving UNIX clients to new Windows NBU 7.0 Master Server
Windows NBU 6.5.5 Master, HP-UX 11.31 clients and Linux 2.5.21 clients. I want to retire the Windows NBU 6.5.5 server and move the clients to a new Windows NBU 7.0 Master server. The Windows clients moved over with no problem. I couldn't bring up the UNIX client properties from the NEW server so I went to the OLD server, brought up the client properties page, and changed the Master server for each UNIX client from OLD to NEW. I still cannot pull up the UNIX client properties from the NEW server. When I try to backup a client I get Status 24, socket write failed. All of the clients, Windows and UNIX are still running either NetBackup 6.5 or 6.5.5 client. Is there something else I need to do on the UNIX clients to make them see the new Master server? I'm not a UNIX guy but I don't even know what to ask my UNIX guy so I would appreciate any help.

check
Check to see if the unix admins had put the master and media server names in the /etc/hosts file ( instead of using DNS).
They may need to add the new master name to the host file.
I don't have to know how to spell....I work on Unix.
NetBackup 7.0.1 - AIX & Windows
Reverse Lookup
You pointed me in the right direction. I couldn't do a reverse lookup from the clients back to the new master. I resolved that issue and all is well.
I've always found that if there's a network issue between two servers, NetBackup will find it.
Thank you J.
