Error Status 25: cannot connect on socket (status 25)

[ver_65]

I keep getting this error message on veritas netbackup 6.5. I followed the steps outlined in the troubleshooting guide but all to no avail

The errot comes up when I try performing a backup from either client or server.

I even get the error while on the NetBackup Administration Console just viewing policies.

Any help will be appreciated.

PS : This is rather urgent , the error message has been occuring for the last 2 weeks.

Thanks. I checked them but not of them are related. All the settings I have are default.

I ran this command ./bpclntcmd -get_remote_host_version <server> and got a "cannot connect on socket error message"

I also created a bpbackup log dir on the client and here are some of the messages

Has anyone seen anything like this?

Finally resolved this by disabling the firewall.

turnoff firewall service

service iptables stop 

Disable firewall

chkconfig iptables off
