NetBackup status code: 6172

Message: Your sign in attempt was denied by the administrator.

Explanation: The NetBackup risk engine detects system anomalies and sends alerts, which lets you take action before a security threat occurs. If your NetBackup server is configured to detect unusual sign-ins and if unusual sign-ins are detected on your NetBackup server, a multiperson authorization ticket is created for the logon request. This message is seen when the NetBackup administrator denies the user's NetBackup logon attempt.

Recommended Action: Contact the NetBackup administrator to resolve this issue.
