[Veritas-bu] Very ODD problem with NB5.1MP3a + 2 Solaris Clients

[Piszcz, Justin]

Hi,   I have 5 Solaris Clients (Solaris 9) which I backup:   Box1 Box2 Box3 Box4 Box5   All machines are the exact hardware specifications and exact configuration.   On:   Box2 * Box3 *   I cannot back these up from the Master server nor do scheduled backups take place properly. Now, I can kick off a backup with bpbackup / without any issue and it works great.  It gets more interesting, shortly after I run the bpbackup I can click and see the client’s host properties and everything is working!  It is almost as if I cannot contact the client unless the client opens a state/connection with the server.  There is NO FIREWALL on the network or in between the clients.  Box1,4,5 have no issues backing up.  Only 2 and 3 which have the exact same settings as the others.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on?   Justin
