Sachin,
Interesting that the bpcd test fails, I assume sometimes and
sometimes not.
Do you have a firewall between the master and client server?
Are there multiple paths between the master and client?
When netbackup fails the bpcd test can you make any other connections
between the two servers (ftp, sftp, telnet etc)?
Are there any hung netbackup processes on the client?
Have you turned on the debug logs on the client and master?
Verbose=5?
If so do you see anything interesting in the logs.
Are the errors on full backups only or incremental backups only
or both.

To: VERITAS-BU AT mailman.eng.auburn DOT edu
Master : Netbackup 6.5.4 , Solaris10
CLient : netbackup :6.5.4 , Solaris10
Backup works fine for some days and then it starts failing
with error 21.
-------> Host entry are ok
-------> Server is pingable
-------> Telnet to bpcd hungs up
-------> bpgetconfig provides the output :
Solaris, Solaris10
6.5.4
NetBackup
6.5
650000
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin
SunOS 5.10
--------> bpclntcmd works fine.
--------> bptestpcd shows following result :
<16>bptestbpcd main: Function
ConectToBPCD(server A) failed: 21
socket open failed
Can somebody suggest what's happening here?
