NetBackup status code: 24
Message: socket write failed
Explanation: A write operation to a socket failed.
Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:
Check the NetBackup Problems report for clues on where and why the failure occurred. If you cannot determine the cause from the Problems report, create debug log directories for the processes that could have returned this status code. Then retry the operation and check the resulting debug logs.
A possible cause is a high network load. For example, this problem occurs with Cannot write to STDOUT when a Windows system that monitors network load detects a high load. It then sends an ICMP packet to other systems to inform them that the route they use is disconnected. The log messages were similar to the following:
