Device management status code 14

Message: Error in IPC SHMAT call

Explanation: A process was unable to attach a shared memory segment that ltid maintains. (ltid is the Media Manager device daemon on UNIX and Linux or the NetBackup Device Manager service on Windows.)

Recommended Action:

  • Examine 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.

  • On UNIX and Linux servers, gather the output of the ipcs -a command to see what resources are currently in use.
