Media Manager status code 146

Message: incompatible database version

Explanation: A requesting process or vmd encountered an invalid or an unknown database or communications protocol. The possible datastores that an error affects are volume, volume pool, barcode rule, global device database, and shared drive information.

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 target components (for example, vmd and daemons or services, or user interfaces on local or remote hosts). Verify that all of the Media Manager binaries are at a compatible version level. Depending on which requests encountered the invalid version, determine whether or not the database is corrupt. Use an appropriate interface to query for the type of information that is involved in the error condition.
