    "Server Status:  cannot connect on socket "

    Comms with database backups work different in comparison with OS backup.

    When rman starts, a backup request is sent from the client directly to bprd on the master server (via vnetd).
    The master then needs to resolve the client's IP address to a hostname that appears in Client list of policy.

    Please ensure that you have bprd log folder on the master. If it does not exist, create the folder and restart NBU. After next failure, check bprd log on master for incoming request from client's IP. If master is unable to resolve client's IP, add to hosts file. Ensure that master can resolve client's IP address to the Client name contained in the policy.

    Please also create the following log folders on the client: bpcd dbclient.
    Remember to chmod 777 dbclient.
