NetBackup status code: 209

Message: error creating or getting message queue

Explanation: When a NetBackup process tries to create an internal message queue construct for inter-process communication, an error occurs. This error indicates a problem on the master server. On UNIX and Linux systems, this error may be due to a lack of system resources for System V inter-process communication.

Recommended Action: Create debug log directories on the master server and retry the operation. Then, determine the type of system failure by examining the logs. Start with the bprd debug log.

On UNIX and Linux servers, also gather the output of the ipcs -a command to see what system resources are currently in use.
