Message: access to the client was not allowed
Explanation: The master or slave server is trying to access the client, but the server is not recognized by the client as a valid server.
Recommended Action:
1. If the server is a valid server, verify that it is in the server list on the client. If necessary add it as follows:
o On Windows NT, 98, and 95 clients, add the server on the Servers tab in the NetBackup Configuration dialog box. To display this dialog box, start the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface on the client and click Configure on the Actions menu (also see "Using the Configure - NetBackup Window" on page 57).
o On UNIX, and Macintosh clients, add a SERVER entry in the bp.conf file.
o On NetWare target and OS/2 clients add a SERVER entry in the bp.ini file.
If you change the server list on a UNIX master server, you must stop and then restart the NetBackup Request daemon (bprd) and NetBackup Database Manager daemon (bpdbm) for the changes to take effect. On Windows NT, stop and restart the NetBackup Request Manager and NetBackup Database Manager services.
2. On Windows NT clients, enable bpinetd activity logging as follows:
a. Create a bpinetd activity log directory on the client.
b. Increase the debug or log level as explained in the activity log topics in Chapter 3, "Using the Logs and Reports."
c. Retry the backup and examine the resulting logs to determine the cause of the failure.
1. On all but Macintosh clients, enable bpcd activity logging as follows:
a. Create a bpcd activity log directory on the client.
b. On a UNIX client, add the VERBOSE option to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file.
c. On PC clients, increase the debug or log level as explained in the activity log topics in Chapter 3, "Using the Logs and Reports."
d. Retry the backup and examine the resulting logs to determine the cause of the failure.
2. On Macintosh clients, check the inetd and bpcd activity logs. Both logs are created automatically.
o Check the inetd log to see if NetBackupListen is running.
o Check the bpbkar and tar messages in the bpcd log file. To increase the amount of information included in the logs, set the loglevel parameter in the mac.conf file to a higher value.
1. Check the bpcd activity log to determine the server's peername and what comparisons are being made. The bpcd process compares NetBackup server list entries to the peername of the server attempting the connection and rejects the connection if the names are different. If necessary, change the server list entry on the client to match the peername.
2. On Windows NT clients, check the following:
o Verify that NetBackup for Windows NT software was installed under a Windows NT administrator account.
If NetBackup is under another type of account, reinstall it under an administrator account. The installation will complete successfully under a non-administrator account but the NetBackup Client service is not added to Windows NT and the NetBackup server cannot access the client.
o Verify that the Windows NT TCP/IP service specifies the domain server that resolves names for the subnet that contains the NetBackup servers. UNIX and Windows NT clients are frequently not on the same subnet and use different domain servers. When this condition exists the NetBackup servers and Windows NT clients may be able to ping one another, but the server is still unable to access the Windows NT client.
3. If the preceding steps do not resolve this problem, see "Resolving Network Communication Problems" on page 21.

Are you able to do bpcoverage from media server to client
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcoverage -c <clientname>
in your clients make sure all media servers are having entry
for unix and linux client /usr/openv/netbackup/ bp.conf
for windows client
backup archive and restore -> specify server -> servers
