If you push the netbackup client from the master server to a solaris 10 box it thinks it is solaris 8, so it writes entries to
/etc/inetd.conf
Solaris 10 does not have inetd but SMF, so the bpcd port is not activated, you can test by doing a telnet
localhost bpcd… it does not answer.
So you have to convert your /etc/inetd.conf file to SMF descriptors, you do so by running
# inetconv
You make sure it is imported by doing
# inetadm | grep -i bpcd
# telnet localhost bpcd
if you get a connection to the bpcd port you’re all set and you’re ready for backup/restore
