Hi Ayaz

Here is the howto I use:
Database agent backup on a cluster on UNIX

On the master server:

You will have to make at least three clients:
physical node1 name
physical node2 name
logical node name

under /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames create the files:
physical node1 name containing logical node name
physical node2 name containing logical node name

On the physical nodes
Under the database admin users home directory make a local copy of bp.conf 
and change CLIENT... to
CLIENT_NAME=logical node name

For SAP:
in the utl-file set
client logical node name

Also make the dbclient and backint directories under NetBackup/logs on the 
clients to get more specific information of what is going wrong.

Regards
Michael
