Hi, We are using symantic veritas 6.5.6 to backup all unix and windows servers.
Our backup server is on win2k8 enterprise 64 bit.
We recently come across issue where backup of One sun server is failing.OS details of server is as below.
[sun1280@root--]/--->cat /etc/release
Solaris 9 s9_58shwpl3 SPARC Copyright 2002 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Use is subject to license terms. Assembled 15 April 2002
[sun1280@root--]/--->uname -a
SunOS sun1280 5.9 Generic_117171-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Netra-T12
In that server i have run the following command and it worked fine.
bash-3.00# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd –standalone
The server is rebooted and we again ran the same command.
Now i am unable to connect client with my backup server and in client it is showing as no netbackup process running
[sun1280@root--]/--->/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd -standalone
[sun1280@root--]/---> [sun1280@root--]/--->/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps -a
NB Processes ------------
Kindly suggest what needs to be done.

Are you aware of the fact that support for NBU 6.x ended more than 3 years ago?
You need to upgrade. Really....
Up to NBU 6.5, NBU client was started as part of inetd.
If entries for vnetd and bpcd do not appear in /etc/inetd.conf (maybe removed by OS hardening), then you need to create a startup script in /etc/rc2.d to manually start vnetd and bpcd in standalone mode.
See this TN: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH181388

Thanks for the reply.
Below is entries in inetd.conf file
bpcd stream tcp nowait root /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd bpcd
vnetd stream tcp nowait root /usr/openv/bin/vnetd vnetd
Please suggest what needs to be done.

Have you had a look at the TN above?
On NBU 6.x, there is no need to start bpcd and/or vnetd in standalone mode - they run as part of inetd.
Check 'netstat -a' output - can you see bpcd and vnetd in LISTENING mode?
Have you verified entries in /etc/services?
I have made suggestions in my previous post.
Such as adding the 'standalone' commands in startup scripts if you feel that the inetd.conf entries are not working for you.
