    4 hours on the phone and webex with the BEST engineer in the UK...

    We eventually had to completely uninstall, cleanup remaining files/folders, and reinstall AT and AZ.

    Long story short - the mount points for nbat and nbaz MUST be as in the templates:
    /var/VRTSat/mnt
    /var/VRTSaz/shared

    Anything other than this cause the databases to be copied to the folders above and not to the mount points.

    These lines in the templates also had to be changed to 'y':
    DiskGroupConfig=y
    VolumeConfig=y

    Other than this, rsh is required not only for the remote host, but also for the local host itself where the configuration is done. So, on v240-2, where I was doing the config, I had to add a 'v240-2' entry to .rhosts.

    bpnbaz -setupsecurity was executed once and completed successfully (no need for FQDN!):

    root@v240-2 # bpnbaz -setupsecurity nbuclus -server nbaz
    There must be at least one Security Administrator other than
    root/Administrator. Enter the userid and login information
    for that Security Administrator. The specified userid will
    be added to the Security Administrator Group (NBU_Security Admin)
     and to the Administrator Group (NBU_Admin).
    Authentication Broker: nbat
    Authentication port[ Enter = default]:
    Authentication type (NIS, NIS+, WINDOWS, vx, unixpwd): unixpwd
    Domain: nbat
    Login Name: root
    Password: <OS passwd>
    Processing - please be patient
    Operation completed successfully.
