Hello Mark

Here is the liste I have used:
1. Check the bpcd log on the client to verify that it is actually using vnetd
2. Do ping -s <client> from the master and media server, to check name 
resolution 
3. Do a telnet <client> 13782 from the master and media server
4. Do ping -s <masters>/<media> from the client, to check name resolution 
5. Do a telnet <masters>/<media> from the client

As you are running a cluster remember that your master is three machines the 
logical_host and the two physical there should open in the firewall for them 
all.

My guess is that there only are created rules for your logical_host in the 
firewall

Regards
Michael

the firewall admin team or with netbackup (version 5.1 HP-UX running on a VCS

clustered server. The firewall rules only specify the virtual server 
hostname. Addition of physical name and IP to firewall rules is not possible.
