Hello everyone,

I am trying ot do a restore to a client through
non_reserved_ports.

Here is what the client bp.conf looks like:

 /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf
 ::::::::::::::
 SERVER = db1
 SERVER_PORT_WINDOW = 4999 5000
 CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW = 5001 5010
 ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS
 RANDOM_PORTS = NO
 CLIENT_NAME = www2
 VERBOSE

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Here is the bp.conf from the server...
 ::::::::::::::
 SERVER = db1
 CLIENT_NAME = db1
 ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = TAR
 ALLOW_MEDIA_OVERWRITE = DBR
 ALLOW_MULTIPLE_RETENTIONS_PER_MEDIA
 #
 BELIEVE_MOUNTS
 VERBOSE
 CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUT = 1800
 CLIENT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT = 500
 BPSTART_TIMEOUT = 1800
 ALLOW_NDMP
 ALLOW_FLASHBACKUP
 ALLOW_NON_RESERVED_PORTS
 RANDOM_PORTS = NO
 SERVER_PORT_WINDOW = 4999 5000
 CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW = 5001 5010
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
we have run the following command on the server:
/bpclient -client www2 -add -connect_nr_port 1
bpclient: the entity already exists (226)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Here is an excerpt from the bpcd log on the client
when trying to do a restore.
