NetBackup status code: 212

Message: error sending information on message queue

Explanation: When a NetBackup process tries to attach to an already existing internal message queue construct for inter-process communication, an error occurs. This error indicates a problem on the master server. On UNIX and Linux systems, this error may be due to a lack of system resources for System V inter-process communication.

Recommended Action: Create debug log directories on the master server and retry the operation. Then, determine the type of system failure by examining the logs. Start with the bprd debug log.

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