Message: The preinstallation checks failed.

Explanation: The NetBackup preinstall checker did not run or detected a critical error.

Recommended Action: Review the nbinstallagent logs to determine if there was a problem executing nbcheck. If not, review the output from nbcheck to determine which check has failed. Note that only critical checks can cause the installation to fail. Correct the condition that the preinstall checker displays and re-run the job.
