Device management status code 48

Message: Host is not the scan host for this shared drive

Explanation: On a request to assign, reserve, or scan a drive, the targeted device host determined that it was not the scan host for the drive. The request was refused (the caller retries it).

Recommended Action:

  • If problems are encountered as a result of the reported error, check for communication, configuration, and system problems among the associated hosts. To check, use the vmoprcmd output or check the NetBackup Administration Console Device Monitor.

  • 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.

  • Configure the scan ability priorities for assigning scan hosts by changing the Media Manager configuration. Configure it so that fewer network connections need to be maintained, and a greater system load is placed on hosts with more capability to service the load.
