One way to to check for the correct "listener" on a linux box...
 
> netstat -a | grep bpcd
tcp      0   0 *:bpcd         *:*             LISTEN    
 
Look for the "LISTEN" line above  - if you see that then xinetd & the bpcd entry are setup right.  If you don't have the the line above, start with what Jeff talks about below.

There is no “daemon” running on the RHEL client usually.   Instead xinetd should be listening on the port and start the client process when a request is made.

By default xinetd is NOT installed on RHEL.  The NBU Client is brain dead so assumes you have inetd when it doesn’t find xinetd running.  It then creates an /etc/inetd.conf file which is useless since inetd isn’t running.

Verify you have xinetd installed (rpm –q xinetd) and that it has the following files in /etc/xinetd.d:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 311 Mar 14  2008 bpcd

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 377 Mar 14  2008 bpjava-msvc

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 344 Mar 14  2008 vnetd

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 307 Mar 14  2008 vopied

If not the simplest solution would be to remove the NBU software from the client then install xinetd then reinstall the client so it configures xinetd properly.

The fact it works sometimes makes me wonder if the above is your problem though.

We have Veritas Netbackup client 6.5 install on Redhat As 4.7.  It has been run for a period of time.
Sometime we got "can not connect to client" message" and Veritas server can NOT perform backup.

Our support engineer say it may be Netbackup client daemon is die on LINUX server.

Does there has way to check Veritas client daemon running status on Linux server?

Thanks.
