Self-test may fail when backup and restore operations are
tested
The self-test may fail when backup and restore operations are tested. The following
error may appear:
Error:
[10-21-2011 00:33:17] [10882]
Debug (/opt/NBUAppliance/scripts/self_test.pm 812):
"Trying restore attempt number <1>"
[10-21-2011 00:34:50] [10882] cmd:
" /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprestore
-00:03:00 /tmp/test_backup.txt"( 10 )
stderr: EXIT STATUS 10: allocation failed
The system memory allocation fails because of an insufficient amount of available
system memory. A possible cause is that the system is overloaded with too many
processes and not enough physical or virtual memory.
Symantec recommends that you stop any unnecessary processes that consume
memory and add more swap space or physical memory.

About troubleshooting a corrupt storage partition
There can be a rare instance where a storage partition might be corrupt. The issue
can appear as configuration failures, backup failures, and status and monitoring
failures. The error messages, in most cases, do not directly point to a corrupt storage
partition. The software stack masks the actual error and presents a different error.
Note: In most cases, the storage partitions are generally VxFS file systems.
One symptom that you may encounter that can help you recognize a problem is if
a backup fails with the following error message.
1: (213) no storage units available for use.
