Exit Status: 48 (client hostname could not be found)

Ensure that iptables on Linux client is disabled. 

If there is a firewall between client and server(s), ensure that port 1556 is open between client and all media servers that are allowed to backup this client.

iptables on clients were disabled using:

etc/init.d/iptables stop

but the problem still exist.

symantec support asked me to do the following:

CLIENT CONNECTIVITY

 After installation of netbackup and license keys on master and or media servers and installing client software we have to make sure we are able to communicate with clients on  ports 1556(pbx),13724(vnetd), 13782(bpcd).

These ports should be opened bi-directional between master and media server to the client. Make note of the outputs from netstat (alias server comes in as is very important). The aliases will usually need to be in hosts or DNS and bp.conf or server lists.

result :I'm waiting the customer to open the ports bi-directional

*******************************

 1. ensured connectivity via ports 1556 and 13782 and 13724  from master server

 telnet <media server> 13782     (Leave this connection and go to the client and run netstat commands)

**********************************

result:the connection opened with all ports from master server normally

 on media server

 for Unix - netstat -a |grep bpcd     (look at server coming in is it the shortname, is it the FQDN or an alias that is not defined in the client bp.conf (Unix) or the server list (for windows)

 for Windows - netstat -a |findstr bpcd     (look at server coming in is it the shortname, is it the FQDN or an alias that is not defined in the client bp.conf (Unix) or the server list (for windows)

********************************

result :all hosts were added to bp.conf of the client

 2. Same connectivity is necessary from the media server

 If your are able to connect to the ports but still not able to connect there is likely a resolution issue sh check nslookup and hosts file entries.

 Can also run a handy command to see if you are able to connect to the client from master or media server run:

 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bptestbpcd -client <clientname>

No response after time getting status 48Exit Status: 48 (client hostname could not be found)

Regards,

one more thing:

I have 4 identical linux servers  after testing all previous commands i tryed to add one of these servers in the client attribute inside the master server proporties and i added the the host name then i clicked double click on client it was connected then i added the media servers to the server list and then run backup  i recieved successful backup.then i did the same thing in all other servers but it didnt work!!!!!!!

got Status Code: 25 Cannot connect on socket

first:AfterI added the ip address of the client to the host file in the masre server i got 48 status. then after following the above steps i got staus 25. 

secondry : i restart all services in the master server, so do you thing ths will not refresh NBU host cash?

third:the master server version is 7.5 and the client also 7.5 . I will ask the customer to open this port 1556 between the master and the client.

forth:

Check that bpcd and vnetd processes as well as pbx processes on the client are running.

when i run /etc/services i got nothing =========

how to check these services other way?

fifth:

bpstestbpcd -client <client-name> -debug -verbose

i ran this command from the master and media server and got the status 25 error.I will run this command again tommorow.

Regards

I refresh NBU host cache on master and media server then run

Hi

Ensure the Firewall is stopped in the master server and client machine

In client

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd -stanalone

Please show us processes running on the client.

We need to see :
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd -standalone
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/vnetd -standalone 
/opt/VRTSpbx/bin/pbx_exchange

Check output of 'ps -ef' and look for these processes.

They will be listed with full pathnames.
