NetBackup status code: 130

Message: system error occurred

Explanation: An error occurred that prevents the product from operating in a consistent fashion. This error is usually related to a system call. The NetBackup APIs can report this error when an unexpected internal error occurs in processing the request.

Recommended Action: Do the following, as appropriate:

  • Check the NetBackup Problems report for additional information about the error.

  • Check the system log for reported problems.

  • For detailed troubleshooting information, create bpdbm, bptm, and bprd debug log directories on the master server. Increase the unified logging level by using the vxlogcfg command.

    See "About unified logging" in the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.

  • Retry the operation and check the resulting debug logs.

If the policy validation fails, it is due to one of following reasons:

  • A certificate mismatch is present on the client. Remove the Snapshot Manager CA certificate from the following location and validate the policy again:

    install_location/var/global/cloudpoint/certificates

  • The Snapshot Manager is not accessible.

  • If the NetBackup APIs produce this error, examine the unified logs for nbwebservice on the master server. For details on the web services logs, see the section on the NetBackup Web Services logging within the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.
