Doesn’t sound like a netbackup issue
Sounds like a host configuration issue – maybe dns
Are you returning 127.0.0.1 even when you have any entry in your
local hosts?
The system could be configured not to look at hosts
Can you resolve forward and reverse lookup when using nslookup?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] cold catalog recovery
We are trying to
upgrade our NBU hardware and OS and are running into
some issues that seem related to doing a cold catalog recovery and name
resolution.
Current setup:
Windows 2003 x86
SP2
NBU 6.5.6
New setup:
Windows 2008 x64
SP2
NBU 6.5.6
Current server
and new server are configured with the same name and ip address.
ISSUE:
We can do a cold
catalog backup and restore just fine
but have
a serious issue in the end. After both successes if we open the Activity
Monitor we get an error - “Not connected, check if services
are up.”
All service are
up.
bpjobsd log
shows
<2>
job_connect: Can’t connect automatically to client pbcobk01 status = 25 err =
10061
<2>
job_connect: Can’t connect to client pbcobk01
<16> main:
Can’t connect to pbcobk01 (46)
We did a
complete system rebuild, installed NBU 6.5.6, and configured to write to
disk. Test backup ran and Activity Monitor worked fine.
Did the catalog recovery and the issue came back.
I did some
bpclntcmd tests and they all come back with the correct name but the IP shows
as 127.0.0.1. I added the hostname and real IP to the hosts file with no
luck.
I tried the
following tests:
bpclntcmd -pn =
correct short name with 127.0.0.1
bpclntcmd -self
= correct short name with 127.0.0.1
bpclntcmd -hn
pbcobk01 = correct short name with 127.0.0.1
bpclntcmd -ip
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = correct host and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx for ip address
If I do these
test on the current server they come back with the actual IP of the
system.
TIA
