NetBackup problem after P2V

I have a W2K server that was converted from physical to virtual. Everything is working perfectly on the converted machine, except backups.

We do not have VCB in place yet. The server is a Netbackup 5.1 client and we left the client software in place. The server backs up to tape normally (observed on the netbackup server activity monitor) but once it is done writing to tape, it stalls and eventually times out. We set the timeout on the client to the max (about 7200 seconds) and it still eventually errors out.

Error bpbrm (PID = xxxx) socket read failed: error = 131 - connection reset by peer
exited with status 13 file read failed

We did not have any problems with backups of this host before it was P2V'd. Anyone have any experience with the likes of this bugger?

Follow up: The Windows 2000 server was still running SP3. Installed SP4 and the problem went away. Not sure why the system backed up fine as a physical server but bombed as a virtual server, but the service pack upgrade definately did the trick.
