Media Manager status code 166

Message: media access port not available

Explanation: A request was made to physically move a volume into or out of a robotic library, but the media access port was unavailable.

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.

  • Ensure that the move request was not sent to a robotic control daemon or process on a system that runs an older, incompatible software version.

  • Ensure that the targeted robotic control daemon or process operates normally.
