server not allowed to connect (46)
I have my backup server able to ping to my client.
I can do the followings:
from the server
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bpclntcmd -hn backupv-data
host backupv-data: backupv-data at 10.1.3.29
aliases: backupv-data 10.1.3.29
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bpclntcmd -ip 10.1.3.29
host 10.1.3.29: backupv-data at 10.1.3.29
aliases: backupv-data 10.1.3.29
I also can do from the client:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin>bpclntcmd -hn backup00-ndmp
host backup00-ndmp: backup00-ndmp at 10.1.2.19
aliases: backup00-ndmp 10.1.2.19
However I can't connect to the client from the server.
The following is the bpcd log for reference. Any help is appreciated.

----------------------
Here you are doing forward lookup to hostname backup00-ndmp.
bpclntcmd -hn backup00-ndmp
This resolves to IP address 10.1.2.19.
But in bptestbpcd output we see connection attempt from IP address 10.1.3.39 TO 10.1.3.29.
Client's IP is on same subnet as server's 10.1.3 IP (assuming you have them separated ito different subnets with 255.255.255.0 netmask):
backupv-data 10.1.3.29
This is why server is using the 10.1.3. interface to connect to client.
Client cannot resolve server IP address 10.1.3.39 and there is no SERVER entry.
If you want to use 10.1.2 network for backups, you need to add 10.1.2 IP address for client's backup NIC.
