You can keep the Java UI from trying to
reach out to all hosts when you hit Host Properties>Clients by changing
or adding the following parameter in the setconf.bat file:
SET FORCE_IPADDR_LOOKUP=0
I'm not sure what, if any, setting there
is for the Win Admin Console.

Definitely sounds like hostname resolution problems to
me too. If all of the hosts you want to talk to are in your /etc/hosts,
removing DNS completely sounds like a good option. The NBU GUI still seems
to want to chatter with every host it knows about, so if you remove DNS
from resolv.conf, or just delete resolv.conf as Jim said), those timeouts
should happen a lot quicker.

Another thought:
If this is version 7.0.1, there is a hostname caching 'feature' now in
NetBackup (Which I do NOT like, Symantec!!!). It caches the IP for each
host configured in NBU and sometimes this can result in the incorrect IP
being tied to the hostname. The default TTL for this cached data is one
hour, but you can refresh it by running the following command on the Master/Media
server(s) and/or clients:
bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache
So, you could see that even though the name resolution may be fixed in
DNS or hosts, NBU may still have it cached. I've heard there's a way to
reduce the time this is refreshed, but I don't remember where it's at.

My apologies, I should have added that.
In my live environment, I have two servers:
ziggurat - Master/Media RHEL4
obelisk - media RHEL4
For "DNS" I'm just relying on the /etc/hosts file as I'm only
trying
to recover 5 systems. The source system that I'm restoring from is not
here, not have we built a replica on it. I'm trying to browse files
that were backed up on server-A in my live environment and restore
them to server-B here in the DR environment.
I can browse down the directory tree, it just takes 20 minutes to do
what I can do in 10 seconds in prod. I'm assuming it's trying to call
out the server-A. I don't see why it should have to do that since the
metadata for the restore files should be in the catalog here on my
master server.
-Thanks.
