    Thank you for your quick response. However I managed to find the cause of this issue. Its seem that I mistakenly put the wrong ip of the master server in the AIX client hosts file. Everything is okay now after I put the correct IP.
     

    Thank you again..

We see connection attempt to port 13724 (vnetd), no attempt to connect to 1556 (pbx) or 13782 (bpcd).

This made me wonder which NBU version we are dealing with? On client and server?

Please check process table (ps -ef) on the client to see if vnetd and bpcd are running (depending on the NBU version). If not, check 'netstat -a' to see if vnetd and bpcd are LISTENING. 

Please show us output of telnet attempts? 
It seems weird that telnet is working and bptestbpcd not.
