Problem
Recent IBM AIX systems are delivered with LPAR support by default.
In an LPAR environment it is entirely possible to come across the scenario where the nodename of a system (ie the name of the physical node) is different from the hostname (the name of the logical instance).
At this point in time NetBackup does not support a clustered Maseter Server installation on AIX systems where the nodename and hostname differ
Error Message

ERROR: Unable to start NetBackup daemon bpdbm. Rerun
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/install_bp when the problem
has been resolved.
NetBackup server installation complete.
Cause
The cluster_config script compares the nodename to the hostname; if these do NOT match then the installer script decides that this is not a cluster
Solution
Symantec Engineering recommendation (ET3467324) is to modify either the nodename or the hostname such that the two match each other
