I'd never seen this before but funnily enough just tripped over it on a
couple of clients I'm moving from NBU 4.5MP9 master to 5.1MP6 master.
Both clients are W2K3 & remaining at 4.5MP9 for now (because I can't
access them to upgrade).  bpclient -hn on the master fails to return the
IP address correctly.  I can't tell yet whether upgrading the client
would improve.  I suspect this is what's making the job run as 1 stream
as the master can't find out what filesystems exist on the client.

Unbelievable!!! What does the "Net" in NetBackup stand for?  You'd have
thought it could resolve addresses!

Anyone know of a workaround or fix?
