>From our experience:

If you try the usual automatic distribution of client installation to
RedHat 7 - it doen't work because RedHat 7 has a different structure of
the inetd.conf: they created /etc/xinetd.conf and /etc/xinetd.d which is
a directory.

We manually create the file - /etc/xinetd.d/bpcd (there should be a file
for each service in this directory), with a similar structure as the
other files there. This, together with the usual /usr/openv dir on the
Linux machine - should make NetBackup work for it.

/etc/xinetd.d/bpcd should look like:

# default: on
# description: bpcd is the service for the NBU program.  
service bpcd
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd
}
