NetBackup status code: 318

Message: container database lock operation failed

Explanation: This error occurs while locking the container database. This error may occur during the addition, modification, or deletion of an entry from the container database. Note that the container database exists in file cntrDB, which is located at install_path/netbackup/vault/sessions/cntrDB.

Recommended Action: Read the relevant log file under the directory netbackup/logs/vault for more details. Be aware that if this directory does not already exist, a log file not created.

If some other Vault operation uses the container database and locks it, wait until that operation completes and the container database is unlocked.
