[Veritas-bu] Error code 48: client hostname could not be found.

Hi All,

The first question I have is “where could the client hostname not be found”.

The scenario:

NetBackup 7.0.1 Solaris 10(both client (sparc) and master(x64))

Two physical hosts in an active/passive cluster

Either system can be backed up by its physical name.

If I try to use a logical hostname I get the above error. However if I run a client side backup using the logical name, it works. But an oracle backup using the logical name fails, also with 48.

I have run;

Bpclntcmd –hn logical_name (from the master server) which works and returns the correct IP address.

Bptestbpcd –client logical_name and it works with the correct IP address

Bpgetconfig –M logical_name works and as expected the CLIENT_NAME is the physical name.

I am stumped.

Any reasonable suggestions welcome.

Regards,
