Robotic status code 240

Message: A memory allocation attempt failed in the robotic daemon

Explanation: An attempt by the robotic control daemon to allocate memory has failed. This error may indicate serious memory problems on your media server.

Recommended Action: Stop all of the NetBackup Media Manager daemons. Consult the documentation for your operating system memory management tools to determine what remaining process is leaking memory, and stop that process. Restart the NetBackup Media Manager daemons. Free up memory by terminating the unneeded processes that consume a lot of memory. Add more swap space or physical memory, if necessary.
