Device management status code 15

Message: The drive is DOWN

Explanation: An attempt was made to mount media on a drive or to reserve a shared drive that was logically configured to the DOWN state.

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.

  • Check the application log files (such as the bptm log) to see why the drive may have been configured DOWN.

  • Check the integrity of the drive, drive path, and media.
