One possible root cause of this error

is the existence of unresolvable server names in the <install_path>\VERITAS\NetBackup\Remote_Versions directory.
Any master to media server communication will spawn a named server entry in this directory. Decommissioned media server names may still exist in this directory.

Resolution:
Deleting the entire contents of the <install_path>\VERITAS\NetBackup\Remote_Versions directory (without deleting the directory itself) on the master server and all media servers is the resolution to this issue.

This type of problem mostly

This type of problem mostly comes because of SSO environment trying to get the status of all the drives from master to media.  In master server you will see lot of "oprd -sockfd 6 -nosig" messages increasing thus as a result you will get "Network protocol timeout error(39)". 

Even if you run vmoprcmd -d you will get network protocol timeout error.  So you need to check if all the DRIVE NAMES and INDEX are same across all the media servers and bring down netbackup services completely on master and all the media servers once.  We used to get the same issue and we used to do the same
