Would this TechNote have helped you?
Your error is not mentioned (and the command is written for UNIX instead of Windows), but it does say:
This is useful when gathering information, or when GUI access is not available.
...and the command referenced appears to be the same one you used (although without a -requiredport switch, so I'm assuming you used the default).

are you able to telnet the 443 port from Master server to Vmwaer ESX server??
telnet <ESXi> 443
06-28-2013 05:19 AM
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>telnet drvmware0 443
Connecting To drvmware0...Could not open connection to the host, on port 443: Co
nnect failed
But I can ping/ssh both to my ESXi

you require this port to communicate to discover the VMs and validations.
and also you require the port 902 if you use NBD transport..
check with your firewall team..if they are blocking the ports..
more details about the VMware ports details.

Nothing(firewall) included between both. The Netbackup Server is a VM and it exist on the ESXi Server which Netbackup not able to communicate

NetBackup Management -> Host Properties -> Master Servers -> (double-click the master server to open)
In the master server properties, go to:
Properties -> Servers
In this list add the proxy server using either the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or short name (as identified by 1 above). If unsure, add both.
Save this change, then stop and restart services on the NetBackup master server to make the changes take effect.

From GUI I keep facing the same error which is:
VMware crediantials validation failed. connect failed (-1)
===============================================
I cross check below:
- host enteries on Esxi Server and Netbackup Server as well and both can ping each other via host name and IP Adress as well.
- Netbackup Server entry mentioned under below path.
- Now when trying to add the crediantials I keep facing the error under the below path.
- I used the below TechNote as well but no success.
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH170018
===============================================
- Via command line the above VMware crediantial validation successfully added. See the below for reference.
Resolution:
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\bin>tpconfig.exe -add -virtual_machine VServer -
vm_user_id root -vm_type 2 -password **********
(VServer is the ESXi Server name, root is the ESXi Server user ID)
- After doing the below I successfully browse the VMware machines from the Clients tab under Netbackup policy. See the below for reference:
===============================================
As per my assumption It seems that its a bug.
