[Veritas-bu] Very ODD problem with NB5.1MP3a + 2 Solaris Clie nts

You could also force route the specific address for your master server &
client rather than the default routing by subnet.

(on the client):
route add <master_ip> <interface_ip>

...with, potentially, the reverse on the master.

This would force all traffic, bpcd, telnet, whatever, to go via the intended
interface rather than just the bpcd daemon using the REQUIRED_INTERFACE.

Check your /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpcd/log.MMDDYY files to see if the
interface addresses for your servers are jumping around.  It'll log from
where it gets its connections.

Hmm,

That is weird.  Have you done the obvious by adding the "REQUIRED_INTERFACE"
and made sure that interface is not routing?

Oh, so you can ping, telnet, etc from the server to the client? 
It's only the bpcd port that doesn't respond?
...but then hit the server from the client, then the server CAN connect
to the bpcd port on the client?

That's wierder than I thought.

Good suggestion, I tried the REQUIRED_INTERFACE, no luck there as it is
not able to "Reach" the open port where bpcd is listening.
The traceroute works fine however and I can ping the box for hours with
0% packet loss, it seems to only affect that port, HMM, I wonder I I
changed the bpcd port?
