Device management status code 20

Message: Cannot stop device daemon with tapes assigned

Explanation: An attempt was made to stop ltid, but the media is currently mounted and assigned. (ltid is the Media Manager device daemon on UNIX and Linux or the NetBackup Device Manager service on Windows.)

Recommended Action: Halt all jobs that reference media, unmount all media, and stop all applications from using Media Manager before trying to stop ltid. If you can't unmount the media through the application interface, check for the existence and permissions of the .ltisymlinks file in the /usr/openv/volmgr/misc directory or in the install_path\Volmgr\misc folder. Initiate tpunmount filename for each line in the .ltisymlinks file, where filename specifies the contents of a line in that file. For example, on UNIX and Linux, the command may look like the following:

tpunmount /usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/tpreq/A00001
