NetBackup status code: 218
Message: failed reading policy database information
Explanation: During the periodic checking of the NetBackup configuration, nbpem did not read the backup policy configuration.
Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:
On a UNIX or Linux server, verify that the NetBackup Database Manager (bpdbm) process is running. On a Windows server, verify that the NetBackup Database Manager service is running.
Try to view the policy configuration by using the NetBackup administration interface.
For detailed troubleshooting information, create debug log directories for nbproxy and bpdbm on the master server and retry the operation. Check the resulting debug logs. Also check the nbpem logs by using the vxlogview command.
Ensure that the correct master server is specified for the connection.
