Error message description There are different types of EMC NetWorker error messages. A copy of each message is stored in a special messages file. This section describes the error message categories and the format in which these messages are stored.
Message types There are five types of NetWorker error messages listed in this guide. The following table describes each of these types.
Table 3 Message types
Type Description
Informational Information that may be useful, but does not require any specific action.
Warning A temporary problem that NetWorker software may resolve or prompt you to resolve.
Notification An event has occurred that generated a message.
Error Errors that you are required to resolve.
Critical Errors that you are required to resolve, to ensure successful NetWorker operations.
Severe Errors that cause NetWorker services to become disabled or dysfunctional.
NetWorker messages file Error messages appear in the NetWorker Console or at the command line. NetWorker Console lists the messages generated during the past 24 hours. A copy of each message is stored in the NetWorker messages file.
The default locations for this file varies by platform as shown in the following table.
Table 4 Default location for the NetWorker messages log file
Platform Default location
UNIX and Linux /nsr/logs/messages
Windows %SystemDrive%\Program Files \Legato\nsr\logs\messages.log
NetWare SYS:\NSR\logs\messages
The format for each error message entry appears as follows:
day hh:mm:ss: hostname: process: identifier: message
where:
l day is the date the message was generated.
l hh:mm:ss provides the hour, minutes, and seconds the message was generated.
Introduction
30 Dell EMC NetWorker Error Message Guide
l hostname is the network name for the computer that generated the message.
l process identifies the process that generated the message.
l identifier is a bracketed section containing the messages numeric identifier and priority. The numeric identifier is a numeric value generated from the hash signature of the message.
The priority is a period-separated pairing of the reporting processs system facility type and the severity level of the message.
l message is the actual message text. More than one entry in the messages file may be used to fully display the entire message for an error, as shown in the following example.
Sample portion of messages file:
Four entries in a messages file that show a single error-message event.

Message variables Variables are sometimes used in NetWorker error message text to customize the message for a given system, user, task, and device. When these messages appear, the variables they contain are replaced with information specific to the environment and action that prompted the message.
To represent variables, this guide uses terms within carets (< >). For descriptions of the most common variables, see the following table.
Note: Variables can appear anywhere in a message. Messages that start with a variable are described in the section Messages: Variable on page 409 All other messages are listed in the alphabetized sections of this guide.

Argument list too long. (23861) Type
Notification
Source
nsrd
Description
The argument list associated with the command that you were trying to run was longer than the setting assigned to the systems environment variable (ARG_MAX). This problem might appear when:
l The setting for the environment variable (ARG_MAX) is too low.
l The savegrp command was called from a script instead of from the NetWorker program.
l The syntax used in the associated directive is incorrect.
l The indexes are larger than the index size limit.
l The indexes are corrupted.
Resolution
Complete one or more of these tasks to resolve this error:
l If the system configuration limit for the environment variable (ARG_MAX) is set too low, either reset the variable in the /usr/include/limits.h file or recompile the kernel.
l If the savegrp command was called from a script, run the backup again by using the NetWorker User program, or the save command.
l If this message was accompanied by the message "Ignored bad ASM argument," fix the syntax of the directive.
l Perform a consistency check on the media database or the client file index.
l If the consistency check indicates a problem, recover the media database or the file index.
Check an index on UNIX and Windows
To check an index on UNIX or Windows systems complete one of:
l If the file specified in the message is a client file index, use the nsrck -F client_name command.
l If the file specified in the message is a media database, use the nsrim -X command.
Recover an index on UNIX
To recover an index on UNIX systems:
1. Shut down the NetWorker daemons by using the nsr_shutdown -a command.
2. Rename or delete the specified file. By default, the:
l Client file index is located in the /nsr/index/client-name directory on the server.
l Server file index is located in the /nsr/index/server-name directory on the server.
l Media database is located in the /nsr/mm directory on the server.
3. Restart the NetWorker daemons by using the startup script.
Messages: A
38 Dell EMC NetWorker Error Message Guide
4. Recover the index:
l If the file specified in the message is a client file index, use the recover command or the nwrecover program.
l If the file specified in the message is a server file index or media database, use the mmrecov command.
Recover an index on Windows
To recover an index on Windows systems:
1. Shut down the NetWorker services by selecting NetWorker Backup and Recover Server from the Services control panel, then click Stop.
2. Rename or delete the specified file. The default locations for the files are:
l Client file index is located in the %SystemDrive%\Legato\nsr\index\client-name directory on the server.
l Server file index is located in the %SystemDrive%\Legato\nsr\index\server-name directory on the server.
l Media database is located in the %SystemDrive%\Legato\nsr\mm directory on the server.
3. Restart the NetWorker services, by selecting NetWorker Backup and Recover Server from the Services control panel, then click Start.
4. Recover the file:
l If the file specified in the message is a client file index, use the recover command or the NetWorker User program.
l If the file specified in the message is a server file index or media database, use the mmrecov command.
Check an index on NetWare
To check an index on NetWare:
1. Select Indexes:
F3-Operation=>Indexes
2. Select Cross-check Index:
F8-Options=>Cross-check Index
Recover an index on NetWare
To recover an index on NetWare:
1. Write down the names of all old and inactive clients.
2. Remove the old and inactive clients:
F4-Admin=>Clients F9 (delete)
Messages: A
Dell EMC NetWorker Error Message Guide 39
3. Stop any groups currently running:
F3-Operation=>Group Status F8-Options=>Stop Group Now
4. Exit the NetWorker program:
a. Select File:
F2-File
b. Select Exit.
c. Answer Yes to Unload all NLMs.
5. From a workstation, map to the client index. By default, this directory is located in the SYS:\NSR\index\client-name directory.
6. Delete all client subdirectories associated with the clients removed in Step 2.
7. Examine all client subdirectories for files without an associated extension (except LEGATODB). If there are any files other than LEGATODB without an associated extension, the index is corrupted.
8. Copy or delete all files associated with the client subdirectory to another location, and delete the original files.
9. Copy the NetWorker resource file (NSR.RES) to another directory, and leave the original file intact. By default, the NetWorker resources are located in the SYS:\NSR\RES directory.
10. Start the NetWorker program from the server prompt (invoke NETWORKR.NCF) by entering this at the prompt:
NETWORKR
If the problem persists, either repeat the preceding process or use the NETUTIL utility to recover the media and client indexes.

nsrexecd
Description
This is a Windows system message that indicates there is a new nsrexecd binary (7.3.2 or greater) and an older NW RPC client binary (7.3.1 or 7.3) on the same machine. The most common case where this occurs is if there is a 7.3.1/7.3 Console server (gstd) or Module installation on the same machine as a 7.3.2 (or later) installation of the NetWorker client package. This message is more critical in the case of the Console server, which requires high privileges on the NetWorker server (for example, it needs the "Change Security Settings" privilege).
The user who started the program will not appear to belong to any OS groups when communicating with NetWorker server processes. So, if you grant privileges using the OS group information, the program which is based off of 7.3.1 or 7.3 NetWorker will not receive the privileges that were assigned to that OS group, even if the user starting the program belonged to the group.
This message does not indicate an authentication failure; however, some of the user's information (for example, group information) will be missing from the credential. Therefore, the user may not receive all of the expected privileges.

Cancellation is in progress. Type
Informational
Source
nsrjb
Description
The nsrjb program detected a Ctrl+c entry and updated the appropriate NSR operation status resource to show cancellation of the operation.
This is an acknowledgement of the cancellation command, not a conformation that the operation has been fully cancelled. Because the jukebox operation is passed to nsrmmgd, and then on to nsrlcpd for actual implementation, it takes time for the cancellation to be forwarded to those processes.
These operations are made up of a series of tasks. The jukebox may not permit cancellation of these tasks. When that happens, nsrlcpd must permit the current task to complete. There may be a delay between the Cancellation is in progress message, and the nsrjb command completing.
If cancellation results are not needed, enter Ctrl+c a second time. The nsrjb program exits without waiting to monitor the operations progress.

Messages: C
Dell EMC NetWorker Error Message Guide 63
Resolution
There are several possible causes and solutions. These resources exist for a certain period after the operation is complete. They are deleted when the NetWorker program shuts down.
If the message appears after a response to a prompt, it is possible that the delay before entering information was too long and one of these occurred:
l The operation timed out. Check the daemon log to determine if this is the case. Resubmit the operation.
l The prompt was answered from another source, such as nsradmin or the GUI, enabling the operation to complete. No action is required.
l The operation was remotely cancelled while nsrjb was still showing a prompt. Resubmit the operation.
If the message appears for any other reason, transient resources should be configured to expire later. Balance the slight performance cost of keeping resources around for a longer period and the inconvenience of getting this error message from monitoring programs such as nsrjb.
If the polling period is too long or the retention policy for the operation status resources is too short, the resources may be deleted following the operation completion, without the nsrjb registering the completion status.
Adjust the nsrjb polling rate with the environment variable NSRJB_POLL_INTERVAL. The default is 10 seconds and can be adjusted between 5 and 30 seconds.
Adjust the resource retention period by adjusting the Operation Lifespan attribute of the applicable jukebox resource.

Whenever a volume record is read, the stored checksum (32-bit CRC) is compared against the calculated checksum. This message indicates that the record does not contain a checksum.
Media databases earlier than NetWorker software release 7.0 did not have checksums. However, these records are not checked because the release number is used to determine whether the record has a checksum. The conversion from an earlier release of NetWorker software to release 7.0 or later is done when the record is updated.
All records are automatically converted during compression performed every 23 days by the NetWorker Index Management program (nsrim) process or when an improper shutdown is detected.
Records without checksums from NetWorker software release 7.0 or later are considered suspect and are not returned to the requesting client application. It appears to the client application that the record does not exist. Each time the record matches a query and is read, the error message is logged again.
Resolution
To resolve this error complete one of these actions:
l If there is sufficient information in the error message, delete the volume using NetWorker Console or the NetWorker Media Management command (nsrmm).
l Removed all invalid records by running nsrim. Invalid records are automatically removed during the compression phase and on startup if the media database was improperly shut down.

During a scanning operation, the scanner program found duplicate data on two separate volumes. The scanner program is updating the media database with information from the most recent copy of the data. This duplicated data is most likely a fragment of a save set that spans multiple volumes.
When a save set backup continues onto a second volume, the last piece of data written on the first volume is rewritten to the beginning of the second volume to ensure the data can be recovered. When scanner processes the first volume before the second volume, it detects this duplicate data and updates the media database with the most recent version of the data.
If the second volume is scanned before the first volume, the message is "skipping overlapping fragment." This indicates both of the following:
l The scanned data is retained.

Fatal media database error. Type
Fatal Error
Source

Description
Fatal error messages are not expected to occur with the new media database journaling. There is a potential, through user error, for coding errors and unhandled error conditions to cause data corruption.
Messages: F
Dell EMC NetWorker Error Message Guide 167
The current implementation of NetWorker software attempts to recover from these coding and unhandled error conditions. Generally, the software detects the errors as soon as possible and removes the invalid database entries.
This puts the media database back into a consistent state, although there may be some data loss.
Whenever possible, the corrupted records will be identified so the administrator can determine the extent of the data loss. With this information, the administrator can determine if additional recovery mechanisms, such as restoring a media database from the bootstrap, are necessary.
Resolution
The general approach to resolving any fatal media database problem is to go to https:// support.EMC.com/ for technical assistance in assessing and recovering from the errors.
Go to https://support.EMC.com/ for technical assistance after completing the following steps:
1. Shut down the media database if it has not done so automatically.
2. Save a copy of the media database directories by using standard tools, such as tar or zip.
Note: Make a copy of the database before restarting it. Restarting the database may cause the scavenge process to start restoring the media database by rebuilding the database from the data records and rebuilding the internal indexes.
Restart the process to start additional database consistency checks. Consistency is restored by the removal of records that cross-reference nonexistent records.
This process creates a restored, consistent media database. However, it may also remove hundreds or thousands of records, depending on the level of corruption.
Making a copy of the database before the media database is restored enables Technical Support to conduct a post-analysis of the database and determine how to restore additional database records.
In a situation where the corruption was severe, the media database can be recovered from the bootstrap by using the mmrecov command. NetWorker software attempts to generate a bootstrap every day, so no more than one days worth of data should be lost.

l If the user starts a Console server (gstd) and selects "User authentication for NetWorker" but does not have enough privileges for impersonation.
Note: NetWorker daemons requesting the right to impersonate another user need the "Change Security Settings" privilege.
l The NetWorker client application (a module client or a snapshot client) is not functioning normally and is asking for impersonation when it is not required.
An example of when impersonation may be required is in cases where requests are sent to one daemon and then forwarded to another. The Console server often receives messages from the NetWorker Management Console java front end and passes them to nsrexecd, nsrd, and other daemons. If the option "User authentication for NetWorker" is selected, then the Console server will try to "impersonate" the logged in user, allowing the user to configure resources other than the ones selected through the Local Hosts tree entries.
For resources selected through the Local Hosts tree entries, the user who started the Console server needs to be in the "administrator" list for the selected resource to perform impersonation.
Note: The NetWorker Management Console user may still not be able to configure the selected resource because this user also needs to be added to the administrator list of the resource.

nsrmon was terminated by a signal
Notification
Source
nsrd
Description
Multiple nsrmon sessions were running at the same time and the sessions did not properly synchronize their updates to the nsrd process.
When you issue a command to an autochanger attached to a storage node, the requested processes fail if multiple nsrmon requests are pending for a single instance of the nsrmmd process. The first instance of nsrmon does not terminate properly because of a timeout. Subsequent requests made to nsrmmd fail.
The nsrmon service monitors nsrmmd processes running remotely. You can configure the following parameters within the Server Setup to control the behavior of nsrmon:
l nsrmmd polling interval (1-60 minutes) Specifies the number of minutes between storage node polls.
l nsrmmd restart interval (0-60 minutes) Specifies the number of minutes between nsrmmd restarts. A value of 0 indicates that nsrmmd restarts immediately.
l nsrmmd control timeout (2-30 minutes) Specifies the number of minutes for nsrmmd to wait between storage node requests.
l NSR_MMDCONTROL (default is 2 minutes) Specifies the number of minutes that nsrd waits until timing out a remote daemon request. Set as an environmental variable.
This message might indicate that a large number of storage nodes are causing nsrmmd to poll frequently. During heavy backup periods, the combination of frequent polling intervals and a short nsrmmd control timeout interval might unnecessarily restart nsrmmd processes.

l Restart the nsrmon and nsrd services.
l Increase the nsrmmd polling interval from 10 to 15 minutes. For example, assume this is the configuration: nsrmmd polling interval = 2 minutes
In this instance, nsrmon polls the nsrmmd processes every two minutes to verify that the processes are active.
l Increase the nsrmmd restart variable from 10 to 15 minutes. For example, assume this is the configuration: nsrmmd restart interval = 2 minutes
In this instance, if nsrmon does not receive a return message from nsrmmd, it waits two minutes before restarting the nsrmmd process.
l Increase the nsrmmd control timeout interval from 10 to 15 minutes. For example, assume this is the configuration: nsrmmd control timeout = 2
In this instance, nsrmon waits for two minutes to receive a message from nsrmmd. After two minutes, nsrmon assumes that nsrmmd is inactive and restarts nsrmmd based on the setting of the restart interval.

Appears in the daemon.raw file of the NetWorker server for several reasons:
l Network connectivity or name resolution issues exist between the NetWorker server and the NDMP client.
l You specified an incorrect NDMP username or password specified for the NDMP client.
l The NDMP service is not started on the NAS filer.
l The NetWorker server cannot communicate with the NAS filer over port 10000.
l A free port in the NetWorker servers default port range (7937-9936) is not available during an NDMP-DSA backup.
l A misconfigured loop router. For an EMC Celerra filer, the server route command utility configures the loop router. For NetApp, the route utility configures loop back router. The value of this setup is network-specific and depends on the number of switches and hubs between the NAS filer, NetWorker server, and NetWorker storage node.
l On the host where DSA is running, if the hostname is present in the hosts file, the nsrdsa_save process uses this name during backup. The DSA host passes the loopback entry to the NDMP data server and the connection fails. To resolve this issue, remove the hostname from the localhost list.

nsrd
Description
The jukebox operation to which this error applies precedes the error in the daemon log file.
The nsrd daemon was notified by the operating system that nsrmmgd exited unexpectedly. The nsrd daemon automatically restarts nsrmmgd. When nsrmmgd exited, all running or queued jukebox operations were aborted and must be resubmitted.
Messages: O
266 Dell EMC NetWorker Error Message Guide
The nsrd daemon is limited in the number of nsrmmgd restart attempts. NetWorker software tracks the number of times it restarts nsrmmgd. If the rate is exceptionally high, nsrd stops trying and continues working without jukebox access.
The error is fatal in regards to jukebox management. Other nonjukebox-related NetWorker tasks continue unimpeded.
Resolution
Do not shut down nsrmmgd manually. The daemon should only be shut down by nsrd as part of the NetWorker software shutdown mechanism.
If nsrmmgd exited due to an error, check the daemon log file and the nsr/cores directory to determine the reason and resolve the problem. For example, if nsrmmgd tried to start up but failed because of a missing operating system library, ensure that the appropriate library is installed in the correct location.

This error can occur with certificate-based host authentication (nsrauth) when the certificates shared by two hosts become inconsistent. This situation typically occurs in the following scenarios:
l Reinstalling the NetWorker client, storage node, or server.
l The nsrladb database is deleted without exporting the contents of the nsrladb database.
l The NetWorker server experiences communication problems due to lack of resources, which can corrupt entries in the nsrladb database.
Resolution
Delete the NSR peer resource on the affected host. For information about deleting a NSR peer resource, refer to the most recent release of the EMC NetWorker Administration Guide.

Check for one of the following when you receive this error:

A mismatch can occur when the nsrladb on one host is corrupted. To resolve this issue, delete the Console Servers NSR Peer Information from the NetWorker Clients nsrladb, and delete the NetWorker Clients NSR Peer Information from the Console Servers nsrladb as following:
l To delete the Console Servers NSR Peer Information from the NetWorker Clients nsrladb, on the client host, type:

Once the deletion is complete, it is not mandatory to restart the NetWorker or Console services.
2. The Client cannot resolve hostname of NMC Server or NW Server. Sometimes, NMC can resolve the client hostname, but , client cannot resolve NMC or NetWorker Server hostname. To resolve this issue, ping the NetWorker Server and NMC server from the Client. If the ping fails, DNS is not resolving the hostname issue and add the hostname to the client hosts file.
3. Ensure NetWorker users have at least the "Operate NetWorker" privilege to launch the Client Wizard. To resolve this issue, add the user to the appropriate user_group in the NetWorker Server.
4. The NetWorker Server may not be present in the client's servers file. To resolve this issue, add the NetWorker Server to the client's servers file.

Description
The most common scenarios in which server authentication fails are:
l Scenario 1: Two NetWorker hosts are not using compatible authentication methods.
l Scenario 2: A NSR peer information resource already exists for a NetWorker host but through some unexpected event such as corruption, the NSR peer information resource is not recognized.
Resolution
l Scenario 1 If a legacy NetWorker client can only use oldauth authentication, allow other NetWorker hosts, that connect to the client, to fallback to oldauth authentication. The most likely NetWorker host that will need to connect to this client is the NetWorker server. You can allow the NetWorker server to fallback to oldauth for just one, or a small number, of NetWorker clients, while disallowing fallback for all other NetWorker clients. Alternatively, you can allow the NetWorker server to fallback to oldauth for all NetWorker clients. The NetWorker Client Management chapter in the EMC NetWorker Administration Guide provides details.
l Scenario 2 Delete the client's NSR peer information resource from the NetWorker server's NSRLA database. The NetWorker Client Management chapter in the EMC NetWorker Administration Guide provides details.

Description
The data block that NetWorker software attempted to recover from the specified volume was not the same size as the original block. NetWorker software disabled tape positioning by both forward space record (FSR) and backward space record (BSR).
All data written to media is assumed to be contained within a single data block. A fixed block size was assigned to the device. The data written to the media was then broken into multiple blocks. NetWorker software was then unable to position the media by using the FSR or the BSR.
Resolution
Ensure that the volume was created by using the current configuration. The device should be configured to accept data blocks of varying size.
If the volume was created by using a different configuration, complete one or both of these tasks to resolve this error:
l Change the existing block size in thest.conf file temporarily to 64. By default, the block size is set to zero. For example, a DLT7000s st.conffile entry might be:
DLT7k -data - 1, 0x36, 0, 0x8219, 4, 0x82, 0x83, 0x84, 0x85, 3;
By changing the block size, this entry becomes:
DLT7k -data - 1, 0x36, 64, 0x8219, 4, 0x82, 0x83, 0x84, 0x85, 3;
l If the volume was created by using an existing configuration, set the block size in the st.conffile equal to the SCSI controllers block size limit. To determine the block size limit, use the mt command. For example in Solaris:
sunnw: mt -f /dev/rmt/9cbn status Quantum DLT7000 tape drive: sense key(0x0)= No Additional Sense residual= 0 retries= 0 file no= 1 block no= 0 sunnw:

How to reconfigure a Jukebox resource on UNIX
To reconfigure a UNIX Jukebox resource:
1. Shut down the NetWorker daemons by using the nsr_shutdown -a command.
2. Remove the Jukebox resource by using nsradmin.
3. Restart the NetWorker daemons by using the startup script.
4. Configure the Jukebox resource by using the jbconfig command.
5. If necessary, delete and reenter the Autochanger Modules enabler and authorization codes.
How to reconfigure a Jukebox resource on Windows
To reconfigure a Windows Jukebox resource:
1. Shut down the NetWorker services by selecting NetWorker Backup and Recover Server from the Services control panel, then click Stop.
2. Rename the Jukebox resource file nsrjb.res to nsrjb.res.old. By default, this file is located in the %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Legato\nsr\res directory.

savegrp
Description
The savegrp program is performing a full backup of the specified save sets instead of the backup level specified in the associated clients schedule.
This message indicates that the specified save sets have not been previously backed up. If the save set was backed up, it would have appeared in the NetWorker media database. Before an incremental or level backup can be performed on a save set, it must first be backed up in its entirety.
If the save set was previously backed up, this message might appear because:
l The clocks on the client and server are not synchronized.
l The savegrp session begins before midnight and ends after midnight.
l The NetWorker client software is backing up a NetWare BINDERY. In this case, the specified client schedule is ignored and a full backup of the specified save sets is performed.

Description
NetWorker software successfully recovered the directory and its files. However, the directory was open at the time of the recovery operation, which prevented NetWorker software from recovering its "encrypted" status. The recovered directory is unencrypted.

Warning or Fatal Error
Source
nsrmmdbd
Description
If the media database was shut down improperly, this message may appear at startup when maintenance is performed on the media database. The first occurrence of the message is a warning.
When NetWorker software scavenges the media database and cleans up the files in the directory, it then rebuilds the media database from the segment files and generates the internal indexing files.
This error message should not appear after the media database is scavenged and a new attempt is made to remount the newly generated media database.
Because the scavenge process generates a consistent map of the media database, it is highly unlikely the error message will be repeated. It also is unlikely that this message will occur after a maintenance command is run on the media database, because the maintenance commands rebuild the mapping as well.
A fatal error occurs if any of these files appear in the error message:
l clients.*
l saveset.*
l vol.*
