connecting client from old master to new master
Hello. Setting up a new Master server with multiple media servers. Created my first SLP, threw an error, so per Symantec, I took SLP out of the equation and tried pointing a regular policy towads the media server storage unit that it should go to. Still, no go, status 24.
The client is Red Hat 6.2, and has been successfully backing up to another Master running 7.0 (windows server 2003) with no issues. For this client, I edited the bp.conf file to point to the new Master, and edited the iptables to allow both Master / Media server access to the 13724 / 1556 ports, and restarted the service. Also, I disabled the policy for this client in old Master.
On both Master / Media servers (both running Win server 2008 Enterprise - both firewalls are turned off).
I can connect to the client from the Master admin console under 'Host Propterties' -> 'Clients'.
But when I kick off manual backup of this client for initial test, I am getting errors:
status 59 - access to the client was not allowed.

Am I overlooking something? Any help is appreciated.
I edited the bp.conf file to point to the new Master
You should add the media servers too.
In the client's bp.conf:SERVER = Master (replace with your own real host names of course)
SERVER = MediaServer1
SERVER = MediaServer2
SERVER = MediaServer3
SERVER = MediaServer4...and so on.
Also:
1. The space to the left and right to the "=" matters.
2. Upper and lower case matters.
3. A short hostname and a FQDN of the same host are (by default) treated as different clients by NetBackup. If possible, try troubleshooting with every possible setting using the short name (upper/lower case still matters).
4. Make sure both forward and reverse DNS lookups can be resolved from all directions between all combinations of master * media * client paths.Edit:
As an alternative to point 3, you could also try the following to include and test all possible combinations in the client's bp.conf:
SERVER = Master
SERVER = Master.yourdomain.com
SERVER = MediaServer1
SERVER = MediaServer1.yourdomain.com
SERVER = MediaServer2
SERVER = MediaServer2.yourdomain.com
SERVER = MediaServer3
SERVER = MediaServer3.yourdomain.com
SERVER = MediaServer4
SERVER = MediaServer4.yourdomain.com
