Device configuration status code 19

Message: Invalid device path name

Explanation: On a request to change the device configuration, the specified device path or device name was not valid.

Recommended Action:

  • To avoid configuring invalid device paths and device names, use the Device Configuration Wizard (on supported device discovery platforms). The wizard automatically configures device paths and device names.

  • On Windows hosts, check the operating system configuration or registry for device names and refer to the tpconfig command in NetBackup online Help. Information for the UNIX and Linux hosts is available at the following location:

    See the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide.

    Always use the no-rewind device files for the drives that are attached to UNIX and Linux hosts. Check to ensure that the specified device paths exist as character-special files. Check for detailed errors from the command or the user interface output.
