When try to run following command from Master it gives following.

vmoprcmd -activate_host -h media_server_name

Command not valid for media servers running NetBackup versions older than 6.0

Above command is not working although Master and Media both are on NBU 6.5 version.

If you're using solaris 10 , check whether

svc:/network/bpcd/tcp:default

is running and network traffic is ok between master & media server
