Device configuration status code 81

Message: This is a drive path operation, use the -drpath option

Explanation: A path operation was specified with the tpconfig command without the -drpath option. This error can occur when you try to change a drive's path using tpconfig -update -drive.

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.

  • Check the tpconfig usage to ensure that the command is used properly and use tpconfig -update -drpath instead.
