As Patrick said, I I'd be looking at bpcd logs. Also, seeing as this appears to be some new fun you're having with version 7, my wild stab would be the new host cache feature.
Run bpclntcmd -clearhostcache or something like that on the client, and see if that sorts it out...

Thus, bkps are not running. We are migrating clients off an old NetBackup server to this new server. Tests done: 1-client can telnet to master server on ports 13782 (and maintains connection) 2-master server can still connect to port 13782 on other clients (80+ clients are working without issue) 3-master server can telnet to other NetBackup service port 13724 on client (and maintains connection) 4-old NetBackup master server can telnet to ports 13724, 13782 on client (and maintains connection) Steps taken: 1-restarted NetBackup services on client 2-no firewalls or ACLs exist between client and master server. 3-reinstalled the NetBackup client 4-verified routes, bp.conf, services started Has anyone ever deal with something like this before? Looking for any ideas. Network team, server groups and Symantec not sure of issue.
