NetBackup status code: 215

Message: failed reading global config database information

Explanation: During the periodic checking of the NetBackup configuration, nbproxy was unable to read the global configuration parameters.

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.

  • Try to view the global configuration settings by using the NetBackup administration interface (on UNIX and Linux systems), or by using Host Properties (on Windows systems).

  • For detailed troubleshooting information, create debug log directories for nbproxy and bpdbm on the master server and retry the operation. Check the resulting debug logs for these processes. Also check the nbpem logs by using the vxlogview command.
