Todd,

We had this issue, opened a case and resolved it.

It's about the connection options of the client in the 6.5.1 environment using 
either a 5.1 or sometimes a 6.5.x client.

Run the bpclient command and change the connections options to 1 0 2.

This will place the client under the Master Server properties Clients 
Attributes listing.

You can also do this through a GUI.

D:\Veritas/NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bpclient -client servera.your.domain.com -L
Client Name: servera.your.domain.com
 Current Host:
        Hostname: servera.your.domain.com
        IP Address: 0.0.0.0
 Dynamic Address:       no
 Free Browse:   Allow
 List Restore:  Not Specified
 Max Jobs This Client:  Not Specified
 WOFB Enabled:  no
 WOFB FIM:      VSP
 WOFB Usage:    Individual Drive Snapshot
 WOFB Error Control:    Abort on Error
 Connect options:       1 0 2

If you have firewall considerations, you'll need to do a little more homework 
to get the right settings.

One thing is that the client is running NBU 5.1.  Can this be an issue
with NBU 6.5.1 Master communicating
with a 5.1 client?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Status 13 for new 6.5.1 environment test


All,
 
I just set up A Windows (2003) Master Server running NBU 6.5.1.
The old system use to run Solaris 8. I pointed one of the clients
(Solaris system)
to point to the new Master. I was able to connect from Host Properties
but running
a test backup I fail with a status 13. I created a bpbkar log earlier
because there were issues
connecting until I added an entry for /etc/hosts file. However there is
no data in there. From problem report I just get the
13 file read failed. I only selected two directories that I know backed
up successfully on the old system.
 
Seems like a permission issue somewhere but maybe someone has an idea of
the problem.
 
any ideas?
 
Jackson
