Media Manager status code 153

Message: device entry is not unique in global device database

Explanation: A request was made to add a global device database record and the record specified was a duplicate of an existing record. This condition can occur if two processes simultaneously update the device configuration on the same host.

Recommended Action:

  • Coordinate the changes to the device configuration so that the changes come from a single source.

  • Investigate the global device database changes on the server (database) side by examining the daemon debug log file for a more detailed error message.

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