NetBackup™ Troubleshooting Guide

Verify that the host connections are proxied

You can use the NetBackup bptestbpcd command on a NetBackup 8.1 or later server to verify that the connections to a remote host are proxied, as follows:

Windows: install_path\NetBackup\bin\admincmd\bptestbpcd -host remote_host

UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bptestbpcd -host remote_host

The PROXY in the following command output example shows that the connections are proxied:

1 1 0
127.0.0.1:42553 -> 127.0.0.1:52236 PROXY 10.81.41.245:895 -> 10.81.40.148:1556
127.0.0.1:35386 -> 127.0.0.1:49429 PROXY 10.81.41.245:51325 -> 10.81.40.148:1556

If the connections are proxied, test the proxy connections.
