Hi all,

I have an environment consist of cluster master server windows 2008 and 5 media servers and 2 5020 appliances.I installed agent on the linux redhat client and and i added all server list to bp.conf and etc/hosts in the client and i added the client name in the master server host file.when i'm trying to ping from the client every thing working fine,but i couldnot do this from the master to client.then when i configured the policy the jobs failed with status

Exit Status: 48 (client hostname could not be found)

then I ran command bptestbpcd -client from master with -debug i got this result:

C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>bptestbpcd -client BEC13-ENC2-2

Is status 48 now resolved?

For some or other reason I got distracted from original status 48.

'Client hostname not found' is resolved by adding client IP and hostname to DNS or to master and media server's hosts files as well as double-checking policy for typo errors as far as Client hostname is concerned.
After changes to hosts files (or DNS) were made, refresh NBU host cache on master and media server:
bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache

Status 25 is a separate issue and points to port connectivity.
You have selected NBU 7.5 in your opening post.
If this is correct, you ONLY need port 1556 between master and client as well as between media server and client.

Check that bpcd and vnetd processes as well as pbx processes on the client are running.

This points to problem on the client:

 status: FAILED, (42) CONNECT_REFUSED; system: (10060) Connection timed out.; FROM 172.20.124.11 TO BEC13-ENC2-2 172.20.165.4 bpcd VIA pbx

Please confirm the NBU version on the client as well as processes running on the client.

Do the following from master and media server:

bpstestbpcd -client <client-name> -debug -verbose

Ensure that iptables on Linux client is disabled. 

If there is a firewall between client and server(s), ensure that port 1556 is open between client and all media servers that are allowed to backup this client.

iptables on clients were disabled using:

etc/init.d/iptables stop

but the problem still exist.

symantec support asked me to do the following:

CLIENT CONNECTIVITY

 After installation of netbackup and license keys on master and or media servers and installing client software we have to make sure we are able to communicate with clients on  ports 1556(pbx),13724(vnetd), 13782(bpcd).

(bptestbpcd –client not responding)

(Ping client name from master or media not responding)

These ports should be opened bi-directional between master and media server to the client. Make note of the outputs from netstat (alias server comes in as is very important). The aliases will usually need to be in hosts or DNS and bp.conf or server lists.

result :I'm waiting the customer to open the ports bi-directional

*******************************

 1. ensured connectivity via ports 1556 and 13782 and 13724  from master server

 telnet <media server> 13782     (Leave this connection and go to the client and run netstat commands)

**********************************

result:the connection opened with all ports from master server normally

 

 on media server

 for Unix - netstat -a |grep bpcd     (look at server coming in is it the shortname, is it the FQDN or an alias that is not defined in the client bp.conf (Unix) or the server list (for windows)

 for Windows - netstat -a |findstr bpcd     (look at server coming in is it the shortname, is it the FQDN or an alias that is not defined in the client bp.conf (Unix) or the server list (for windows)

********************************

result :all hosts were added to bp.conf of the client

 

 2. Same connectivity is necessary from the media server

 

 If your are able to connect to the ports but still not able to connect there is likely a resolution issue sh check nslookup and hosts file entries.

 Can also run a handy command to see if you are able to connect to the client from master or media server run:

 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bptestbpcd -client <clientname>

No response after time getting status 48Exit Status: 48 (client hostname could not be found)

one more thing:

I have 4 identical linux servers  after testing all previous commands i tryed to add one of these servers in the client attribute inside the master server proporties and i added the the host name then i clicked double click on client it was connected then i added the media servers to the server list and then run backup  i recieved successful backup.surpriseblushthen i did the same thing in all other servers but it didnt work!!!!!!!

got Status Code: 25 Cannot connect on socket

first:AfterI added the ip address of the client to the host file in the masre server i got 48 status. then after following the above steps i got staus 25. 

secondry : i restart all services in the master server, so do you thing ths will not refresh NBU host cash?

third:the master server version is 7.5 and the client also 7.5 . I will ask the customer to open this port 1556 between the master and the client.

forth:

Check that bpcd and vnetd processes as well as pbx processes on the client are running.

when i run /etc/services i got nothing =========

how to check these services other way?

fifth:

bpstestbpcd -client <client-name> -debug -verbose

i ran this command from the master and media server and got the status 25 error.I will run this command again tommorow.

Hi

Ensure the Firewall is stopped in the master server and client machine

In client

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd -stanalone

Please show us processes running on the client.

We need to see :

Which command did you use to list processes? I don't see pbx.

Please try the command in my example? # ps -ef | egrep 'vnetd|bpcd|pbx' 

It seems there is still something that is blocking port connecttivity.

Try the following from the master and media server:

telnet BEC13-ENC1-2 13724

If this fails - you need to find out what other software on client is blocking port connectivity or else if there is a firewall between servers and client.

We can see that connection to ALL of these ports is refused by the client:

CONNECT_FAILED
        status: FAILED, (42) CONNECT_REFUSED; system: (10060) Connection timed out.; FROM 172.20.124.11 TO BEC13-ENC2-2 172.20.165.4 bpcd VIA pbx
        status: FAILED, (42) CONNECT_REFUSED; system: (10060) Connection timed out.; FROM 172.20.124.11 TO BEC13-ENC2-2 172.20.165.4 bpcd VIA vnetd
        status: FAILED, (42) CONNECT_REFUSED; system: (10060) Connection timed out.; FROM 172.20.124.11 TO BEC13-ENC2-2 172.20.165.4 bpcd

I used bpps -x

 

[root@BEC13-ENC1-1 ~]# ps -ef | egrep 'vnetd|bpcd|pbx'
root      8950  8930  0 20:55 pts/1    00:00:00 egrep vnetd|bpcd|pbx
root     25033     1  0 Nov03 ?        00:00:00 /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/pbx_exchange
root     27231     1  0 Nov04 ?        00:00:01 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/vnetd -standalone
root     27236     1  0 Nov04 ?        00:00:01 /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd -standalone
[root@BEC13-ENC1-1 ~]#


 

telnet BEC13-ENC1-2 13724 failed .so i think it is ports issue .I will work on openning all needed ports the will test this again,

Thanks for you all ,Regards,

For NBU 7.5, only pbx (port 1556) is needed.

Port needs to be opened bi-directional between master and client as well as media server and client.

Please also check for TCP wrappers on Linix client: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH56080

Thanks Marianne,

I had same problem, and before do bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache, resolve my problem !

[root@XXXX ~]# bptestbpcd -client joo
<16>bptestbpcd main: Function ConnectToBPCD(joo) failed: 48
<16>bptestbpcd main: client hostname could not be found
client hostname could not be found
