- Did all of your media server registerd on your /etc/hosts file at the master server?
yes.  The environment had been working for several months.  No recent patch updates or changes (that I'm aware of).  The master server lost "netbackup communication" with the media servers upon restarting the netbackup daemons.
 
- did the master server name and ip address listed on /etc/hosts at all the media server?
 yes.  I can ping and ssh to all media servers and vice versa
 
- on /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf, did all the media server registered there, with the "SERVER = media_server_name" (without quotes) ?
yes
 
- check on the media server:  "./usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmglob  get_gdbhost"
It gives me the master server's hostname
 
 
It's odd, huh?

- check on the media server:  "./usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmglob  get_gdbhost"
  is the result was the master server? if not, run: "./usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmglob  set_gdbhost master_server_name"

Check it, and give us the result.. :)

Roughly 55 media servers.
 
After I rebooted the netbackup daemons, I had the following issue:
Master server can ping and ssh to all media servers, but Master server cannot communicate to media servers via netbackup.  vmoprcmd command hangs.  Any jobs for media servers that start up come back with "Media server is not active".  Netbackup is running on master server and all media servers.  Tried rebooting the master server with same outcome.  There is no firewall between the master server and any media servers.
 
Something obviously changed before I restarted the Netbackup daemons....anyone have any ideas?
