    Only requirement on NBU 6.5 is for bpcd and vnetd to be 'listening' - so you do not have a NBU issue...

    This is your problem:

    Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host

    If server and client are on different subnets, there needs to be a router in order to connect them...

    Please provide output of the following on the server:

    ping <client-name>

    traceroute <client-name>

    If above commands produce errors, please take up with your network team.

    Solaris 8 is not support OS version for Netbackup 7.1 even for 7.0

    you would need to upgrade the OS to the atleaset solairs 9 (supports only client)

    or try to install 6.5.X

     

    check sort , and compatablity list

    check again your OS version.

    If the client is supported, try to telnet bpcd from the client (telnet localhost bpcd). If it is working then you must check any firewall between the server and the client.

    Also check the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files at the client  These files may block the communication even from the client itself.

    If the client is not supported, install 6.5

    Nagalla is right - 7.x is not supported on Solaris 8.

    How did you manage to install NBU client software?

    go ahead and use the below command to start.

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd -standalone

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/vnetd -standalone

    check these links:

    How did you install the software? If you used NBU install script, it would install startup script, then start PBX as well vnetd and bpcd in standalone mode. Please post installation log.

    Definatly no help from connect..

    you only have 2 options as i stated earlier...

    1) you would need to upgrade the OS to the atleaset solairs 9 (supports only client)

    2) try installing the 6.5 X, ( its out of support life cycle)
