vmd and oprd processes loops

Hi All,

I'm using NBU 4.5 on a AIX Server.

Each time a administrator computer call the Veritas NetBackup Administration Console, NBU open a vmd port and make a connection (tcpip) to that computer.
We can see this process with the command bpps -a

root 56050 22746 0 Mar 02 - 0:00 /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/oprd -sockfd 5 -verbose

and we can see the tcp port with the commands lsof or
netstat -a

oprd 25544 root 5u IPv4 0x700f1adc 0t7162 TCP server:vmd->adminpc:12497 (ESTABLISHED)

tcp4 0 0 server.vmd adminpc.12497 ESTABLISHED

My problem is that sometimes for any reason, the NBU process increase dramatically.
I can see this following processes until 100 times or more...

root 56050 22746 0 Mar 02 - 0:00 /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/oprd -sockfd 5 -verbose

and this 100 connections or more between the server and the adminpc

tcp4 0 0 server.vmd adminpc.12497 ESTABLISHED

Ok, wenn I saw that I stop the Management Console on the adminpc and stop NBU with kill process but it doesn't run.
Each time the process is killed an other comes again... the only things that I can make is to REBOOT the server...

As anyone has still this problem?
Can we close the vmd or oprd port?
What should I make in this situations?
Anyone as an idea?

Regards,
jerome m.

Yeah, now I find the answer...
A NBU administration console was install on a managment pc (windows XP) and this console was never stop. So, in a every specific time interval the tcp/ip daemon stop on the XP machine and then start again. This restart process open a second oprd process on the NBU master server and so on...
Solution: every night i stopped this NBU console and started it again at the morning.
