    Check the bp.conf file on the client and make sure that you have a MEDIA_SERVER=name entry for the media server performing the backup - and a SERVER=name entry for the name of the master server.

    If the media server is clustered you will need a MEDIA_SERVER=name entry for each node in the media server cluster and the cluster VIP name.

    If the master server is clustered you will need a SERVER=name entry for the cluster VIP name of the resource group for the clustered instance of the NetBackup Master server, and sometimes some admins like to add a SERVER=name entry for each clustered master server member node too, but if your routing is good then you shouldn't need the member node names as SERVER=name on the client.
