Media Manager status code 96

Message: oprd returned abnormal status

Explanation: A request that the oprd services (the operator request daemon or process) returned an abnormal status.

Recommended Action:

  • On Windows, when you auto-configure devices or initiate the NetBackup Device Manager service from a graphical or a command line interface, ensure that the service is not disabled in the system services configuration.

  • 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.

  • In general, any device management-related errors that occur on a particular host accompany the operator request daemon or process and remote device management errors. Check for errors in the debug and the system or the application logs on the host where oprd was started or where it is running. The host is often a targeted device host or scan host.

    The kinds of failed requests that oprd services can include the following:

    • Down, up, or reset drives

    • Change drive comments

    • Deny or resubmit mount requests

    • Assign drives

    • Start or stop ltid

    • Obtain ltid status

    • Display drive status

    • Manage pending actions

    • Set NDMP attributes

    • Configure devices

    • Clean drives

    • Obtain host version and device configuration information

    • Scan shared drives
