NetBackup status code: 301

Message: vmchange api_eject command failed

Explanation: During the eject process, the vmchange command is called with an -api_eject call to begin the process to eject media. This command call failed.

Recommended Action: Review the Vault debug log in the following directory for detailed information about why the process failed:

UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/vault

Windows: install_path\NetBackup\logs\vault

Also review the summary.log in each of the sidxxx directories that had problems:

UNIX: /usr/openv/netbackup/vault/sessions/vault_name/sidxxx

Windows: install_path\NetBackup\vault\sessions\vault_name\sidxxx

(where xxx is the session ID)

When the problem is resolved, rerun the Vault session, vlteject command, or vltopmenu command.
