    Have you done basic network testing?
    Did you add hosts entries on the master and the client for one another?
    Have you tried commands like ping, traceroute (on HP-UX) /tracert (Windows) in both directions using hostnames (not IP)?

    Is there a firewall between the master and client?

    Have you looked in bpcd log on the client if connection attempt is received from the master?
    (bpcd directory must exist under /usr/openv/netbackup/logs on the client. If not, create the directory before trying to connect again.)

    To test port connectivity as well as forward and reverse name lookup, use this command on the master server:

    bptestbpcd -client <name> -verbose -debug

        bptestbpcd is a server command only.
        bpcd log file on the client will show the connection attempt from the master and the connect-back.
        On the client, you can run 'bpclntcmd -pn' to test connectivity to the master.

        Check on HP-UX client why pbx is not running.
        It should be running by default.
        NBU will first try to connect to PBX.
        If that fails (after Client Connect Timeout), it will try vnetd.
        If vnetd connection fails, bpcd wil be tried.

        I see TCP error 10061 in bptestbpcd output :
        ERROR returned 10061

        TCP error is at OS level, causing TCP connection attempt from NBU to fail.
        You need to check with OS team.
