  • Looks like a name resolution problem - Netbackup cannot resolve the client name via DNS.

    Netbackup first tried 1556 (PBX) , then 13724 (vnetd) and then 13720 (bpcd).

    For connectivity test try using bptestbpcd from master server, media server AND from client to master server.

    In addition to what Nicolai stated... following string also catches my attention which is potentially a port connection failure.

    16:15:10.961 [9906] <2> bprd_get_features: bprd_connect(testpgsql2) failed, cannot connect on socket (25)

    DB servers makes connection with Primary Server over Port 1556 and 13720 (bprd). Validate if both ports are opened to Primary server. My suspicion is more on 13720 (bprd).

    Hope it helps.
