NetBackup™ Status Codes Reference Guide

NetBackup status code: 518

Message: No ports available in range (port_number) through (port_number) per the NBJAVA_CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW configuration option.

Explanation: All the ports in the specified range are in use. Too many users (concurrent) of the NetBackup Java interface or too few configured ports can cause this error.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • Restart the NetBackup Java interface and try again.

  • If the problem persists, increase the range of ports by changing the NBJAVA_CLIENT_PORT_WINDOW option in the /usr/openv/java/nbj.conf file (UNIX) or the install_path\java\setconf.bat file (Windows).
