Device management status code 32

Message: Error in getting semaphore

Explanation: ltid made an attempt to obtain a semaphore that was used for arbitrating access to shared memory. (ltid is the Media Manager device daemon on UNIX and Linux or the NetBackup Device Manager service on Windows.) The request failed due to a system error. The error probably indicates a lack of system resources for semaphores, or mismatched software components.

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. Check the installed software components and verify that they are all at a compatible release version.
