I am trying to use the linux client v6.0mp4 to backup an esx server v3.02. I have installed the client software choosing redhat 2.4 and the installation is complete. I cannot successfully backup the esx server as there is a cannot connect to client error message. I cannot use bp from the client to start a backup. I have checked IP resoultion and checked all hosts files.

Is it necessary to restart an esx server after installation of the netbackup client software?

How do I re-start the netbackup services on a linux client (if this is even possible as i dont think that services run until the backup is inititated!!).??

Are there any additional steps to be followed when attempting to backup an esx server for the first time using netbakcup?

 

Thanks, Mark
