Media Manager status code 160

Message: the global device database device type is invalid

Explanation: An invalid device type appears in a request to modify the device configuration.

Recommended Action:

  • 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.

  • Identify the targeted host. Verify that all of the Media Manager binaries on that host are at a compatible version level with the other hosts that are part of the configuration. Update the software version as needed.
