Resolving a pending action
A pending action is similar to a pending request. For a pending action, NetBackup determines the cause of the problem and issues instruction to the operator to resolve the problem.
A media icon identifies a pending action; the icon appears to the left of the request ID. The icon includes a human hand, which depicts that a manual action is required.
Use the following procedure to resolve a pending action.
To resolve a pending action
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Device Monitor.
- If you licensed a disk pool feature, select the Drives tab.
- In the Pending Requests pane, select the pending action.
- On the Actions menu, select Display Pending Action (on UNIX, you can also double-click the pending action).
- In the message box that describes the problem, review the list of possible corrective actions. The message box also shows other information, such as user name, recorded media ID, external media IDs, and drive number.
- Click OK.
- Correct the error condition and either resubmit the request or deny the request.
See Denying a request.
