Issue with veritas netbackup connectivity exit code :54

[josutilities]

I have netbackup 5.1 running on HP UX 11i server.
The backup is failing with the exit status 54 which is about the connectivity between master and client.
My question is i have two default gateways configured one for primary lan0 and other for backup lan1, could this be the issue?

bpcd port is listening

#-> netstat -a|grep bpcd
tcp 0 0 *.bpcd *.* LISTEN

#telnet 13782 is failing

KIndly suggest again could two default gateway be the issue.



Please suggest

Hi,

Having two default gateways could be causing your problem. Study your routing table ('netstat -nr') to determine which interface handles traffic for which destination IP. You may need to add a static route via the 'route' command.

I am looking at exit code 54 (timed out connecting to client).

Veritas relies heavily on good network communication. Make sure that you can resolve short and long names. It would be a good idea to put an entry in the /etc/hosts file on both the client and server if you already haven't done so.

In your /etc/inetd.conf file make sure that you have the following entry;

bpcd stream tcp nowait root /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpcd bpcd
