Hello,  I'm trying to solve a problem at our India location. Netbackup 3.1
is running on a Solaris Unix box  (box1) and all seems okay until we try to
expire a tape using the 'bpexpdate' command.  I have no problem using the
command 'bpexpdate -d 0 -ev <mediaid>' on our local 3.2 box, but when I
attempt it on the remote system, I get an error "Client Connection Refused"
This happens after the bpexpdate command asks me to verify that I want to
delete the tape.   When I view the reports using bpadm, and select problems,
I get a report that "bptm failed: 'box2' client connection refused (57)
 
'box1' is the netbackup server.
'box2' is the same server, but its previous name.  The server's name was
originally 'box2' but was changed to 'box1'. Obviously, somewhere on the
system, it thinks it's still 'box2'. Any idea where I should look? Adding
'box2' to the /etc/hosts  file beside the 'box1   localhost' entry allows us
to successfully run the bpexpdate command, but this workaround could cause
problems connecting to a new local box named 'box2'
 
Any suggestions for things to check?  Have I been confusing enough?! <grin>
 
Thanks for any ideas you come up with.
 
Regards,
Joe
