Actually, more than just port 13782 is necessary,
assuming this is ESX 3.
They have a checkbox for "NetBackup" in their Security
configuration (a lousy GUI front end for their wrapper for IP Chains that does
less than IP Chains would have let you do... sigh), but the ports they list have
nothing to do with anything useful. (They're in the general range that NetBackup
uses but don't do anything related to the services needed on a NetBackup
client.)
In order to backup ESX 3 clients, I do this on the
client side:
esxcfg-firewall
-o 2301,tcp,in,hpim esxcfg-firewall -o 13782,tcp,in,bpcd esxcfg-firewall
-o 13724,tcp,out,vnetd esxcfg-firewall -o
13720,tcp,out,bprd
and then on the
NetBackup master require vnetd for the client (ie, enable no
callback: bpclient
–client <hostname> -add –no_callback 1).

Make sure you have port 13782 open
on the esx server.

| [Veritas-bu] using linux client to
backup esx (vmware) |
|
I am
trying to use the linux client v6.0mp4 to backup an esx server v3.02. I have
installed the client software choosing redhat 2.4 and the installation is
complete. I cannot successfully backup the esx server as there is a cannot
connect to client error message. I cannot use bp from the client to start a
backup. I have checked IP resoultion and checked all hosts files.
Is it necessary to restart an esx server after installation of
the netbackup client software? How do I re-start the
netbackup services on a linux client (if this is even possible as i dont think
that services run until the backup is inititated!!).?? Are there any additional steps to be followed when attempting to backup
an esx server for the first time using netbakcup? Thanks, Mark
