NetBackup status code: 80

Message: Media Manager device daemon (ltid) is not active

Explanation: If the server is UNIX or Linux, the NetBackup device manager daemon, ltid, is not running. If the server is Windows, the NetBackup Device Manager service is not running.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • On Windows, use the Activity Monitor or the Services application in the Windows Control Panel to see if the NetBackup Device Manager service is running. If it is not running, start it. To enable verbose logging, place VERBOSE on a line by itself in the install_path\Volmgr\vm.conf file before you start the service.

  • On UNIX, use vmps to see if ltid is running and if necessary start ltid in verbose mode with the following command:

        /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid -v

    Or, add a VERBOSE entry to the /usr/openv/volmgr/vm.conf file. Create the vm.conf file if necessary.

  • On UNIX, check the system logs to verify that ltid starts.

Note:

On UNIX systems, ltid, and on Windows systems, the NetBackup Device Manager service, is used only if devices are attached to the system.
