Unable to configure an Appliance - 5230
I have been involved in a task to move backups to Netbackup Appliances in our estate. For the first time I am seeing a very strange problem which is stopping me to configure a media server to a master server.
The errors is :

There are numerous things which have been tried here inclusing removing the DNS Entries for these servers from DNS and making Local Hosts entry on our master/media servers.
nbemm logs are attached below on high verbosity though it doesn't says much.
Any Clue techis ?
Symantec case has been raised but just wondering if you guys have ever experienced this issue.
So first thing I would do is get to maintenance mode (elevated) and then run the nbemmcmd -addhost manually to see what its struggling with.
Also, check from the master if there is an existing entry for this new host.
And run bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache everywhere (PBX cache causes a lot of problems)
