[61:2015] Timeout waiting for the devices to get free.

[Critical] From: BSM@cellsrv01.in.com "cellsrv01_IDB"  Time: 02/27/14 02:00:31
[61:2015]  Timeout waiting for the devices to get free.
The session will terminate.

Ø  It is very common in every backup environment to share the same device for different backups. This is an error message due to device contention issue.

Ø  The backup device selected in the backup specification is unavailable for the backup to start. It is in use by another process or by another backup/restore/copy sessions.

Ø   Check the device status using the lock name. (Check Here for the commands used to find a locked device). Wait for the device to be free.

Ø  The backup will be queued for global timeout seconds and will fail if no device is freed / allocated to the backup session.

Ø  The queuing time can be found at the end of backup session from backup statistics. Shown below
