Manually start Media manager daemons

[Aravind_M]

Hi,
  I am not able to get media manager daemons after bouncing Netbackup Daemons.
And i got this error

# ./vmoprcmd -d
oprd returned abnormal status (96)
IPC Error: Daemon may not be running


Please help me out how to Start/stop  media manager daemons manually  & rpc .


Thanks,
Aravind.

First you need to troubleshoot why the MM daemons didn't start?

- set verbose 5 in vm.conf 

- under /usr/openv/volmgr/debug/ create the following directories if not present:

daemon
robots
ltid

- restart the netbackup once again and check the above logs for errors.

- post the log at the specific time you restarted the services.

One thing that historically has stoped the MM daemons from starting is when there are no drives for ltid.

Which version of NetBackup are we troubleshooting here and on which O/S?
Whatever the O/S and NBU version, please add this line to vm.conf:
VERBOSE

After this, Media Manager messages will be logged to syslog on Unix servers and to Event Viewer on Windows server.

The OS is seemed to be Unix
Try
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/ltid on the media server
