Have you registered the vcenter in Netbackup with a user that has adequate permissions?

i get the error
ERR - Error opening the snapshot disks using given transport mode: san:hotadd:nbd:nbdssl Status 23

If using NBD transport method, then port 902 needs opening up between your ESX servers and your media servers
If using SAN transport method, then the media servers need zoning in to the relevant LUNs/Datastores and visible on the OS
