Problem

NetBackup status code 82: media manager killed by signal

Solution
Message: media manager killed by signal Explanation: Another process or a user terminated the tape manager (bptm) or disk manager (bpdm). Recommended action: This error should not occur in normal operation. If you want to terminate an active backup, use the NetBackup Activity Monitor. When backing up a DomainOS client, this error occurs after the server has not received anything on the socket for at least 300 seconds. It causes a client read timeout and breaks the connection. The bpbkar debug log has an entry similar to the following:
13:22:49 [1347] <16> bpbkar: ERR - Extra output - - ECONNRESETConnection reset by peer (UNIX/errno status)

To resolve the problem, increase the CLIENT_READ_TIMEOUTvalue (in this instance to 900).

TROUBLESHOOTING: Make sure all of the following are correct: IP Addresses, Shortnames, FQDN in the /etc/host files for Master, Media Servers, especially if you suspect there are issues with your DNS. Short name and the FQDN in the SERVER = entry in the bp.conf. Name Servers & IP Addresses listed in the correct order in the resolve.conf Make sure you have files first and then the dns and not the other way round in the nsswitch.conf file, especially if you suspect there are issues with your DNS. Check and Confirm with the bpclntcmd command for forward & reverse name resolution. Both are important.) From Client to Server and Server to Client # bpclntcmd -ip <IP_Address> # bpclntcmd -hn <hostname> From Client to Server only

# bpclntcmd -pn If the above steps do not work then you can Test the Communication with any Third Party Utility and check for packet Reordering or Network Packet dropouts/timeouts. Eg. apparNet
