Cause


If both Veritas NetBackup and McAfee VirusScan are installed, the cause of the problem is related to an application conflict between McAfee and Veritas.

After updating the Veritas driver and installing the new McAfee patch 11, the problems being seen in ClearCase will be resolved. It appears that while the issue is between Veritas and McAfee, it only shows itself when third party applications make specific types of network access requests.
