Catalog backed up as IP versus server hostname
Master server name: srv-server
Master server IP-Production Network: a.a.a.a
Master server IP-Backup Network: b.b.b.b
The Backup Network is only connected to a network switch that is isolated in that, only has those network connections that need to have data backed up via the NetBackup Client.
For example, our file, exchange, and SQL servers all have a separate network connection (and IP on the b.b.b.b network) so we can back up data without impacting production (a.a.a.a).
To ensure that we force backup data through the backup network, we use the windows 'hosts' file.
Somehow, my production NetBackup Master Server is showing up as the IP for the client column (b.b.b.b) versus the server hostname 'srv-server'.
The resolution was to open the clients file on masterserver: c$\program files\veritas\netbackup\db\class\*Name of Catalog Backup Policy* and remove the IP and put in the hostname.
do the same for *Name of Catalog Vault Policy* (same file/path as above)
