I describe the 23/24/25 status codes as follows:

RC=23:  Server A sent a IP packet to valid server B, and is waiting for a response packet.  It fails to get the response packet within the TIMEOUT window and raises the rc=23.

RC=25:  Server A tried to sent IP packet to invalid server B.   No connection made so Server A sets rc=25.

RC=24: Server A sends packet to server B and get a response within the TIMEOUT window. But something happens that drops connection between them. 

I make an analogy of this communication environment using phone calls:

Person on Phone A calls to phone number B, which connects and they leave a voice mail to call them back. They wait for a call back that does not come and after a specified time, they quit. RC=23.

Person A calls phone number for what he thinks is a valid Phone B.  The call does not go through and they hear the message "The number you have dialed is not a working number". RC=25.

Person A calls Person B, they call is picked up but the line connection somehow gets dropped unexpectedly.while communications is in progress.  RC=24.

All of these are communication errors of some kind.

For RC=25, the sourtce server may have the wrong target server name in its environment or an invalid/wrong IP address for the target server.

For RC=23, A can talk to B but B cannot talk to A. Could be a source server it does not recognize or it is using the wrong IP address t respond to.  Possible bad host name to IP resolution.

RC 24: The toughest of the bunch. A and B know each other correctly. They just can't keep the call going.

Anyway, that's how I try to explain these things.

A classic culprit is backup client NIC left in auto-negotiate mode which sometimes selects 10Mb/hdx and causes all sorts of strange socket errors.  Check that first for a quick win.

If you can confirm that both the backup client's NIC port - and - the LAN switch port really are fixed 1 Gbs and neither side (client or switch) is in auto-negotiate mode - then get the network admin to also check for port errors too, e.g. high counts of link-up/link-down for the backup client.

If you get these checked and still have problems, then come back for some advice on how to trouble shoot using the logs.

We see bpcd on client failing with status 23: "bpcd on ETW-DBS000261.testeis.tweis.net exited with status 23: socket read failed " Create bpcd log folder on the client. After next failure, copy log file to bpcd.txt and upload as File attachment. Please also tell us Windows and NBU versions and patch levels.

Is this ever worked or a new client?

Is this failing after writing some data?

Please provide the bptestbpcd output and bpcd logs from client.

If this is newly added client the check with below command are these ports open:-

From Master server:-

Run->cmd->telnet <client ip address or name> 1556

Run->cmd->telnet <client ip address or name> 13724

Run->cmd->telnet <client ip address or name> 13782

 

From client:-

Run->cmd->telnet <master ip address or name> 1556

Run->cmd->telnet <master ip address or name> 13724

Run->cmd->telnet <master ip address or name> 13782

 

If any ports is not open then you will need to open that port vice versa

NBU 7.6 only needs PBX (1556) between client and server(s). Check that Windows firewall is turned off on server and client. bptestbpcd is the best way to test connectivity as it does multiple things : - Port connectivity in both directions - Forward and reverse name lookup in both directions.
