can't connect to client  (58)

These are some of the things I tried before reaching out to everyone.

- I can ping the client in question.

- Netbackup can see this clients properties under Host Properties

- I can ping the master from the client, and the client from the master successfully

- I ran the bptestbpcd.exe -client client123 on the master; returned the right ip info.

- Tried backing up the client using it's ip address; same result.

The jobs do not fail immediately.

This is a 8.1.1 environment; master is a Windows 2012 cluster and media servers are appliances.

Client is a Windows 2012 physical server.

Your help greatly appreciated.

    Under Host Properties – Clients, this particular client did not have any servers listed in the “Media Servers” tab.

    They were all listed under the “Additional Servers” tab.

    You need to run bptestbpcd on the Appliances.

    Ensure connectivity (forward and reverse lookup as well as port connectivity) in all directions between media servers and clients.

      I think I found something on the appliance.

      mediaserver124:/home/maintenance # bptestbpcd -client server123.corp.com
      <16>bptestbpcd main: Function ConnectToBPCD(server123.corp.com) failed: 25
      <16>bptestbpcd main: cannot connect on socket
      cannot connect on socket

        you have declared in hosts file the name and ip of the client and master/media?
