    1, 2 & 3 - Agree with Nagalla

    4)we need to add client entries in master server bp.conf ,


    NO! NO! NO! 
    Only master's OWN hostname must be CLIENT_NAME in master's bp.conf.
    Client is added to Master when you add a policy.

    etc/hosts file.

    YES - If Client and server are NOT on DNS.

    So,

    1. Check/confirm forward and reverse name lookup between client and master and media server(s), 
    2. Install Client software,
    3. add SERVER entries for Master and Media server(s),
    4. If there is a firewall, ensure ports are open as per http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH136090. If Windows or Linux client, ensure OS firewall is turned off.
    5. Create policy for client.
