Message: failed reading retention database information
Explanation: During its periodic checking of the NetBackup configuration, nbpem did not read the list of retention levels and values.
Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:
On a UNIX or Linux master server, verify that the NetBackup Database Manager (bpdbm) process is running. On a Windows master server, verify that the NetBackup Database Manager service is running.
For detailed troubleshooting information, create a debug log directory for bpdbm on the master server.
Increase the logging level for nbpem by using the vxlogcfg command as described in the following topic:
See "About unified logging" in the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.
