Device management status code 41

Message: Unknown drive name

Explanation: A request was made for a specified drive, but no such drive can be found in the active configuration. This status can occur in the following situations: if the device files are corrupt or missing, if they cannot be opened or read, or if there are no devices configured.

Recommended Action:

  • Ensure that ltid was stopped and restarted after changes were last made to the device configuration. (ltid is the Media Manager device daemon on UNIX and Linux or the NetBackup Device Manager service on Windows.) Display the device configuration (use the tpconfig -d command or other means) to see the list of valid drives. Specify the drive name or index as appropriate for the interface being used.

  • Check integrity of the EMM database. Display the device configuration to do the following:

    • Determine if the database is corrupt.

    • Restore a saved copy of the database file from catalog backups, or remove the devices and recreate the device configuration.
