Thank you Caleb,  you gave me the solution. I did:

 

svcs -a |grep -i bpcd

maintenance    14:43:46 svc:/network/bpcd/tcp:default

 

then

svcadm restart svc:/network/bpcd/tcp:default

 

svcs -a |grep -i bpcd

maintenance    14:43:46 svc:/network/bpcd/tcp:default

 

so I tried:

 

svcadm clear svc:/network/bpcd/tcp:default

 

and then

 

svcs -a |grep -i bpcd

online         15:56:54 svc:/network/bpcd/tcp:default

 

netstat -a |grep bpcd

      *.bpcd               *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN

 

Now I’m able to backup my machine again.

 

Thank you all guys for your imputs.

 

 

Bpcd should be a service on its own.   Try svcs –a |grep –i bpcd and see if you get any output.  If so then just run svcadm restart svc:/network/bpcd/tcp:default

 

 

I finally  found what is my problem:

 

netstat -a |grep bpcd

netstat -a |grep vnetd

      *.vnetd              *.*                0      0 49152      0 LISTEN

 

So bpcd is not listening.

 

I checked the inetd.conf and found:

 

bpcd    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd bpcd

vnetd   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/openv/bin/vnetd vnetd

vopied  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/openv/bin/vopied vopied

bpjava-msvc     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpjava-msvc bpjava-msvc –transient

 

then restarted inetd:

 

svcadm restart network/inetd

 

and

 

netstat -a |grep bpcd

 

???????

 

Nothing happened.

 

Any thoughts ?

 

 

 

What's in bpcd log on the client?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] BACKUP EXIT STATUS = 59

Hello gurus,

 

This last weekend some of my scheduled backups failed with  BACKUP EXIT STATUS = 59. Teoricaly the Server and the clients are resolving the names ok. I can do ssh from Server to client and from client to Server using the names defined in /etc/hosts. But can’t do backups. Can you help me?

 

Solaris 10.

Netbackup 4.5_SP6

 

Thank you,

 

Best regards.
