Justin,
    I'm not sure what platform you are running on or what version of NetBackup 
- but if this is a unix master or media server, you may want to increase the 
shmmax on the machine.
   
  On Solaris:
  # grep shmmax /etc/system
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=<#value>
   
  To set these parameters on solaris, simply edit the /etc/system file and 
change the value - then reboot.  Or if you're good on mdb, you could use that.
   
   
  On HP:
   
  11.23:
  # kcusage -l shmmax
Parameter:      shmmax
Usage:          17904720
Setting:        <#value>
Percentage:     1.7

  11.xx:
  # kmtune | grep shmmax
shmmax               0X4000000
#
   
   
  On linux:
  #sysctl -a 
   
  look for kernel.shmmax = <#value>
   
  Below is the technote on how to set these parameters in Linux:

  Also check out your size and number data buffers.  If they are too large - 
that might also be the cause of the problem.  See the following technote for 
information on those settings:

  Hope that helps.
