master server 5240 appliance with 3.1 and clients with 8.1 . The mysql config is binded with an IP address instead of localhost or 127.0.0.1. But it seems NetBackup is trying to connect as "localhost" only. Can we tell somewhere NetBackup to not to use localhost for connecting . This occurs when i try to initiate a backup.
As a work around when we add x.x.x.x localhost in /etc/hosts it works .
