Just got this from support:

"We recently identified a defect in the 5.1 MP6 version of bpclntcmd.
When an IP address is greater than 13 characters, the IP address will be
truncated to 13 characters in length. Note that the number of characters
is including the "dots" or separators between the octets.

This issue will be addressed in a future release.

While this has caused us a great deal of confusion when attempting to
troubleshoot suspected name-resolution issues, it does not appear to
have any affect on the ability to back up or restore."

So, it appears that it's just a cosmetic issue and does not effect the
backups/restores/functionality within NetBackup. In my case, the two
servers I was having problems with have been backing up successfully. I
now believe it may have just been coincidence or some other network
issue that was causing these servers to have backup problems, and
suspect this to be the same issue with others who may be having
problems.

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?
