NetBackup status code: 7296
Message: Could not take the host offline.
Explanation: VxUpdate attempted to take the target media server offline so that any NetBackup activity wouldn't be initiated on the host while VxUpdate runs. The attempt to offline the host failed unexpectedly.
Recommended Action: If NetBackup is currently active on the target media server (Example: a backup or restore is running), it's recommended to wait for that activity to finish before VxUpdate is attempted.
In cases where immediate intervention is needed, rely on NetBackup process utilities to report and potentially stop or suspend NetBackup processes. Review the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide sections for bp.kill_all, bpdown, bpps, nbstop, and vmoprcmd.
