Sallam Walekum Kamran,
Janaab, I believe you have
1) created the policy in master server
2) cat bp.conf on the client, please do check on the master server name
3) bpclntcmd -pn on the client, check the output
4) bpclntcmd -self on the client, check the output and if its resolving to the correct client name
5) post the bpbrm log file from the media server in use.
6) post the bpbkar log fromthe client
7) the bpcd log as well.

I think it sounds like the software firewall within Red Hat.
You need to only add bpcd/tcp protocol to your firewall, to allow it through.

I came across this again the other day in Red Hat Fedora Core 4

Fedora Core has a software firewall switched ON by default to deny nearly ALL protocols. NetBackup protocols will have be added to the ALLOW list.

For the text GUI for the firewall under FC4 type

# lokkit

Choose Customise

TAB to the section 'other ports' under 'Allow Incoming', and add the following to the list:

bpcd:tcp

Now try your backup.Message was edited by:

AssalamWalekum Kamram Bhai,
I woould like you to check wether we can

1) telnet from the master to the client at the port 13782
telnet < client-name > 13782

if it connects then the master server can communicate with the client.

2) for hostname we can do a
bpclntcmd -pn
check the output and do tell us
bpclntcmd -self
check the output and do tell us

3) check out for the
tcp_ip_abort_interval on the client, please do check wether the value is less than the following parameters

ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_rexmit_interval_initial
ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_rexmit_interval_max
ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_rexmit_interval_min

if its less please do have a word with your System admin on linux boxes, please do take a restart of the xinetd service.

Fire a test backup, I hope this works. please do keep us updated on the case.

Kamran bhai,
The master server is the media server ????
if not then please do add the media server name to the SERVER list in the client bp.conf file.

Looking forward to your updates in these regard
