You forgot to tell us the OS on the master?

Can you please show us the contents of this folder on the master?
/usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux

and output of :
bpgetconfig -M client_1

 

Hi Marianne,

                It is Media server from where I am trying to push.  Below is the info

Media Server OS =Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.7.

The timestamp on the media server folder RedHat2.6.18 looks a bit old.

What is in the contents of the version file in that folder?

Hi Marianne,

                 But I am able to upgrade the client on few other servers running RHEL 6/7 from same media server.

# pwd
/usr/openv/netbackup/client/Linux/RedHat2.6.18
# cat version
NetBackup-RedHat2.6.18 7.7.2

I have searched for Error 127 with update_clients and could only find this forum post:

https://vox.veritas.com/t5/NetBackup-Appliance/Push-NBU-client-install/td-p/817684

The most feasible reply was from @vtas_chas :

Do you have enough space on the drive?  I've seen 127s with a full /tmp or / file system.

Marianne, Thanks for the reply.   There is 6 GB free space in /tmp, / and /usr. 

When I looked into the client /var/log/messages i see below error, 

Aug 17 10:36:25  kernel: bpcd: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x20

Aug 17 10:36:25  kernel: Pid: 23614, comm: bpcd Not tainted 2.6.32-642.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1

Could be this red hat bug:

Please note this section:

The below mentioned workaround also works in 2.6.32-358.el6 and newer if the issue still persists even after the update
