Client connection refused (status 57)

I recently upgraded from Solaris 8 to solaris 10. I no longer can connect to the client. This is a new solaris 10 install and I do not have any clue what to do. I am currently running netbackup 5.1. A...

    I found this on google

     

    Netbackup 5.1 client on Solaris 10

    If you push the netbackup client from the master server to a solaris 10 box it thinks it is solaris 8, so it writes entries to /etc/inetd.conf

    Solaris 10 does not have inetd but SMF, so the bpcd port is not activated, you can test by doing a telnet localhost bpcd... it does not answer.

    So you have to convert your /etc/inetd.conf file to SMF descriptors, you do so by running

    # inetconv

    You make sure it is imported by doing

    # inetadm | grep -i bpcd
    # telnet localhost bpcd

    if you get a connection to the bpcd port you're all set and you're ready for backup/restore
