Abhishek,
NetBackup ultimately relies upon system calls like gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr(). So if those system level calls work, then NetBackup shouldn't have a problem either. I'm not sure what you mean by "nslookup is deactivated", but I'll assume you mean it's not working because you don't have a DNS server (since that's what nslookup uses). You can use the NetBackup provided bpclntcmd (/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd) to check that name resolution is working:
bpclntcmd: -sv bpclntcmd: -pn bpclntcmd: -self bpclntcmd: -hn <hostname> bpclntcmd: -server <NBU master> bpclntcmd: -ip <ipaddress> bpclntcmd: -gethostname bpclntcmd: -is_local_host <hostname>
bpclntcmd: -check_vxss bpclntcmd: -check_vxss_with_host <hostname> bpclntcmd: -get_pbx_port [<hostname>] bpclntcmd: -get_remote_host_version <hostname>
These are all documented in the commands manual, but I'd start with things like -hn <hostname> and -ip <ipaddress> to see if name resolution is working for NetBackup.

NetBackup (and therfore VxSS) rely on host configure name
services to be accurate. As long as your nsswitch.conf has hosts
listed and hosts are correct, NetBackup will function fine.
