Could me like what I go through

 

My normaly is mydomain.mycompany.com

 

But we have service networks so some servers get  mydomainservice.mycompany.com

 

Which they do not always set dns setup right.  They use to make two entries, one for each domain.

I had to talk to them to make “true” aliais so that forward and reverse would work.

 

A true alias:

Nslookup mycomputer

Would bring back

Mycomputer.mydomain.mycompany.com

Ipaddress

Alias: mycomputer.mydomainservice.mycompany.com

 

When they did two entries it does a round robin.

 

Nslookup mycomputer

Would bring back mycomputer.mydomin.mycompany.com

 

Do it again

Nslookup mycomputer

Would bring back mycomputer.mydomainservice.mycompany.com

 

 

So a suggestion is to check if there is more than one entry for the server.

Thanks guys

 

Our Netbackup verision is 6.5.4.

There should be open for port 13724 in the firewall.

This seems to be confirmed by the fact that file backup & restore works when initiated from the master server.

Bplist also gives status 23 and bpclntcmd only say expecting response from server <master>

 

As the client is in different subnets I'm starting suspect a name resolving issue somewhere

The answer depends on your version of NetBackup.  For v6.5 (and maybe 6.0 and 7.0), you don't need any as the communications defaults to "vnet" (port 13724).  Open that port at client and server(s) and all should be well.

 

Earlier versions required setting the "bpcd connect-back port" to vnetd for the client under the master server "client attributes" to use vnetd and more ports are used. Opening 13720-13783 on client and server should be more than sufficient for v5.1 and maybe 4.5.

Cheers, Wayne

Hello

 

Can you help me with which connect options there should be in bp.conf on a unix client behind a firewall

 

Have tried to do after the description in the manual, but not with much luck. We keep getting a status 23 cannot connect on socket

 

We have to run oracle backup on this client

 

Regards

Michael
