Hi,

Wondering if anyone has had a similar problem :

Solaris 9 master server, separate media server and client.
NBU 5.1 MP2.

Using Advanced Client to perform snapshot (nbu_snap) of client, using
the media server as the data mover.

We have introduced a firewall between the servers and the clients.
Prior to this, snapshot backups were working, now they are failing with
error code 25.  The actual snapping is working fine.  All other backups
(filesystem and RMAN over IP) work fine.

We have opened the usual ports in the firewall i.e. bpcd, vnetd and
bprd.  We are seeing drops for traffic coming from a random high port on
the media server to a random high port on the client.

I have tried all the vnetd configuration options to no avail, so must
either be missing something or Advanced Client is bypassing the usual
configuration.

any ideas?

thanks, Phil
