Abhishek, NetBackup ultimately relies upon system calls like gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr(). So if those system level calls work, then NetBackup shouldn't have a problem either. I'm not sure what you mean by "nslookup is deactivated", but I'll assume you mean it's not working because you don't have a DNS server (since that's what nslookup uses). You can use the NetBackup provided bpclntcmd (/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpclntcmd) to check that name resolution is working:
bpclntcmd: -sv bpclntcmd: -pn bpclntcmd: -self bpclntcmd: -hn <hostname> bpclntcmd: -server <NBU master> bpclntcmd: -ip <ipaddress> bpclntcmd: -gethostname bpclntcmd: -is_local_host <hostname> bpclntcmd: -check_vxss bpclntcmd: -check_vxss_with_host <hostname> bpclntcmd: -get_pbx_port [<hostname>] bpclntcmd: -get_remote_host_version <hostname> These are all documented in the commands manual, but I'd start with things like -hn <hostname> and -ip <ipaddress> to see if name resolution is working for NetBackup.
