thanks for all the replies to this question. I will update the list when i have
the client working.

Actually, more than just port 13782 is necessary, assuming this is ESX 3.
They have a checkbox for "NetBackup" in their Security configuration (a lousy
GUI front end for their wrapper for IP Chains that does less than IP Chains
would have let you do... sigh), but the ports they list have nothing to do with
anything useful. (They're in the general range that NetBackup uses but don't do
anything related to the services needed on a NetBackup client.)
In order to backup ESX 3 clients, I do this on the client side:
esxcfg-firewall -o 2301,tcp,in,hpim
esxcfg-firewall -o 13782,tcp,in,bpcd
esxcfg-firewall -o 13724,tcp,out,vnetd
esxcfg-firewall -o 13720,tcp,out,bprd
and then on the NetBackup master require vnetd for the client (ie, enable no
callback: bpclient client <hostname> -add no_callback 1).

Make sure you have port 13782 open on the esx server.

[Veritas-bu] using linux client to backup esx (vmware)
I am trying to use the linux client v6.0mp4 to backup an esx server v3.02. I
have installed the client software choosing redhat 2.4 and the installation is
complete. I cannot successfully backup the esx server as there is a cannot
connect to client error message. I cannot use bp from the client to start a
backup. I have checked IP resoultion and checked all hosts files.
Is it necessary to restart an esx server after installation of the netbackup
client software?
How do I re-start the netbackup services on a linux client (if this is even
possible as i dont think that services run until the backup is inititated!!).??
Are there any additional steps to be followed when attempting to backup an esx
server for the first time using netbakcup?
