[Veritas-bu] Strange messages in /var/adm/messages on server

Just asked this of David Little the other day actually and he told me it was 
due to vmd generating child processes for various operations; those messages 
are the child processes terminating. New to 5.0, as you noticed. 

As for getting rid of them - are you running with a verbose level at all ? I 
haven't had time to experiment yet to see if that gets rid of them.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Strange messages in /var/adm/messages on server


Hello,
I'm using NetBackup 5.0 MP2 on Solaris 9 and
I have noticed the following messages in my /var/adm/messages
on the NetBackup master server:

Oct  1 12:54:25 ble vmd[29971]: [ID 631293 daemon.notice] 
terminating - successf
ul (0)
Oct  1 12:54:25 ble vmd[29973]: [ID 631293 daemon.notice] 
terminating - successf
ul (0)
Oct  1 12:54:25 ble tl8cd[29976]: [ID 704525 daemon.error] 
TL8(0) ASC 0x83, ASCQ
 0x3 set on drive 2
Oct  1 13:44:29 ble ltid[248]: [ID 709115 daemon.error] 
Automatic cleaning of TL
8(0) drive index 2 failed because there is no cleaning tape or 
the cleaning tape

Oct  1 13:48:50 ble vmd[758]: [ID 631293 daemon.notice] 
terminating - successful

Oct  1 13:48:51 ble tl8cd[761]: [ID 704524 daemon.error] 
TL8(0) ASC 0x83, ASCQ 0
x3 set on drive 1
Oct  1 14:03:43 ble vmd[1136]: [ID 631293 daemon.notice] 
terminating - successfu
l (0)
Oct  1 14:03:43 ble vmd[1138]: [ID 631293 daemon.notice] 
terminating - successfu
l (0) 

These come several times during the day, and were not there
before. In particular, there is a mention of an attempt
in cleaning the drive, but I did clean the drive manually
with a cleaning tape and the messages persist only on
drive index 2.
I put no cleaning tape in the robot, I prefer to do it
periodically by hand.

Any clue on what these messages are, and how to stop them
from generating?

Thanks
Louis-Luc
