Device management status code 47

Message: Unable to establish scan host for shared drive

Explanation: On a request to change a shared drive's status, an attempt to establish a connection to the drive's scan host failed.

Recommended Action:

  • Determine which host serves as the drive's scan host: use the vmoprcmd output or check the Device Monitor in the NetBackup Administration Console.

  • Ensure that vmd (the NetBackup Volume Manager daemon on UNIX and Linux or NetBackup Volume Manager service on Windows) is running on the scan host. On the scan host, examine debug logs and system logs for any messages that are related to the error.

  • 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.

  • The detailed reason for the canceled request should be available in the daemon debug logs on the scan host. Correct the problem and submit the request again if needed.
