NetBackup status code: 9101

Message: Failed to lock the file.

Explanation: This error can be due to the following reasons:

  • NetBackup cannot create the lock file, perhaps due to a permissions error.

  • The file is locked by another process.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • Examine the logs for the operation you tried to perform.

  • On the host where the error occurred, examine the legacy logs for nbcertcmd.

  • On all of the hosts involved in the communication, examine the unified logs for nbpxyhelper (OID 486).
