Media Manager status code 84

Message: this machine is not the database host

Explanation: A request was made to initiate vmd on a host other than the local host. vmd is the NetBackup Volume Manager daemon (UNIX and Linux) or NetBackup Volume Manager service (Windows).

The vmd port numbers other than the default or use of unsupported options can affect the referenced host and port in the interfaces that start vmd.

Recommended Action:

  • Initiate vmd on the local host only, by logging on to the host where vmd needs to run Start vmd on that host. On UNIX and Linux, run /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmd [-v]. On Windows, start the NetBackup Volume Manager service in Services of the system Control Panel.

  • If more information is needed to explain the problem, examine the command output, debug logs, and system logs for a more detailed message on the error.

    See "Setting Media Manager debug logging to a higher level" in the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.

  • Make sure that the port numbers are consistent.
