I recently installed the unix agent on a linux machine running redhat 7. I am running Backup Exec 8 on a Windows 2000 server and it will not see the back up agent on the linux machine. I have added the linux box name and IP to the host file on the windows machine and vice versa. I have checked over every step to make sure that I am setting everything up correctly. Anyone have any ideas?

Does the Redhat machine reside on the other side of a firewall. Cuz if so then you'll have to edit your firewall to accept traffic bi-directionally on ports 6101 and 6103. Also do a ps -aux | grep agent.be or ps -aux | grep /etc/bkupexec/agent.be and see if the agent process shows up. If not, go to a csh prompt and cd to /etc/bkupexec and run ./agent.be & and that should start the process. Or just do a shutdown -r now. And that will reboot the server, and Backup exec agent should load automatically.
