    Check that the master and media server(s) resolve client hostname to correct IP address at OS level.

    OS name resolution will either use DNS or /etc/hosts - you need to verify.

    Once you have confirmed that OS lookup is correct, clear NBU host cache on master and media servers:

    bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache

    Then perform forward and reverse lookup in all directions using bpclntcmd.

    Just addd more information to what Marianne send,

     

    See the hosts file in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, search for any entry with server your alter IP - remove if you dont use this config or update.

     

    Run in command prompt from Media or Master Server:

    bpclntcmd -hn client_name (Show the name and IP resolution use by Netbackup)

    ipconfig /flushdns (Clear cache dns from Media or Master server - where you run the command)

    bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache (clear all host cache for Netbackup - this does not affect your environment if you are running with backups)

     

    After this command re-run the first command and check the ip, if is the new one or the old.

    Netbackup works by resolving IP address / Hostname.

     

    Make sure your Hostname resolution is happening to the right IP address. Make necessary DNS entries on your DNS servers.
