Hi, I am attempting to backup two Solaris NBU5.1 clients through a
firewall and they are unsuccessful. I would like some pointers on
troubleshooting this procedure.

 

The firewall rules have been set up for bpcd (13782) going out to the
client from the master server and media servers.

The firewall rules have been set up for vnetd (13724) going into the
server.

The client attribute of vnetd port has been selected from the master
server properties for each of the clients.

When selecting the client properties from the NBU admin interface the
error of cannot connect on socket (status 25) returns immediately

When running a test backup the error of (58) can't connect to client
returns almost immediately.

 

I have run the bpclient -client -nameofclient -L command on each of the
firewalled clients and the No call back connections is set to yes. But
the IP address returned is 0.0.0.0 

I have checked the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf on each client

I have checked the bp.conf on each client and server and media server
names are present

I have checked /etc/hosts on server and client

I have enabled logging of bpcd and vnetd on the clients but there are no
log files created - indicating no communication with the clients from
the master

I have enabled logging of bpcd on the master

 

How can I determine if the problem lies with the firewall rules created
by the firewall admin team or with netbackup (version 5.1 HP-UX running
on a VCS cluster). Could the issue be related to the fact that I have a
netbackup clustered server. The firewall rules only specify the virtual
server hostname. Addition of physical name and IP to firewall rules is
not possible.

 

 

Regards, Mark K
