Device management status code 8

Message: Error in Receiving User Message

Explanation: An attempt was made to receive a user message from ltid on an already existing internal message queue used for inter-process communication. (ltid is the Media Manager device daemon on UNIX and Linux and the NetBackup Device Manager service on Windows.) An error was encountered in the message communications. The error probably indicates a lack of system resources for message queues. On Windows, this error can also occur if an internal-system-registered event cannot be opened.

Recommended Action:

  • Examine command output, debug logs, and system logs for a more detailed message on the error.

    See "Setting Media Manager debug logging to a higher level" in the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.

  • On UNIX and Linux servers, gather output from the ipcs -a command to see what resources are currently in use.
