I'm getting the below error
Status = can't connect to client.
Client host properties shows cannot connect to socket.
How can we resolve?
Enable the bpcd log directory on the client under netbackup\logs\
Retry connecting, see if the log is populated, if it is post it up.
If it's not there could be a firewall blocking connectivity - check this out.
Also on the Master can you run:
bptestbpcd -client <clientname>
does that fail too?

Hi Sathisp83,
> Try ping test from your master/media server to client
> add client IP address to your master/media host file
Hope this will help, please let us know the result
Thanks
Is this a local device on the domain/network or is it a remote/satellite location? Are you backing up other client's properly or are you having issues across the board?
Please tell us all relevant info?
NBU version on master, media server and client
OS on master, media server and client
Hostname lookup in your environment - DNS or hosts files?
If DNS - is reverse lookup enabled?
Can client resolve master and/or media server IP address to hostname that corresponds with SERVER entry on the client?
Is there a firewall between client and master and/or media server?
Is there any firewall software on the client?
NetBackup Client software installed?
Yes, just had one of those "oh, we forget to tell you ..." 
I'm sorry for tle late reply, back from my vacation.
Still facing issues for few clients with status 58.
Client software already installed and even i restarted the services, again its failing.
NBU version is 7.1.01
OS is Unix
Hostname lookup - hosts files
Connection to 172.24.129.47 13782 port [tcp/bpcd] succeeded!

NBU version is 7.1.0.1 will first attempt connection on port 1556, then 13724. Client needs to connect back on same port.
Please do the following test:
Create bpcd log folder on the client.
Use hostnames to test - not IP addresses (Your policy seems to be using IP address 172.24.131.244 and not client hostname).
If you are using hosts files, you should have entries in /etc/hosts for clients on the server, and hosts entries on the client for master and media server(s).
On server kek3bkvnnp01, do the following:
ping <client-name>
bptestbpcd -client <client-name> -verbose -debug
Please post output of above 2 commands as well as bpcd log file on the client.

Is that ALL of the bptestbpcd output? I was expecting to see the port number and IP address that is used to connect to the client.
Did you remember to create bpcd folder on the client?
Was any log created in bpcd folder?
If so, please post.
If not, check that firewall software on client is disabled.
On Linux client, stop and disable iptables.
On Windows client, disable Windows firewall.
On vacation again?
About 4 weeks have passed with no backups for this client?
