I'm running Netbackup 3.4 on three Solaris 7 systems, which is probably close enough 
to help. I saw 213 errors when I was attempting to install Netbackup 4.5 on a new 
system. (213 is the real problem, I think.) 

213 is "No storage units available for use."

Veritas recommends:

1.  Examine the Backup Status and All Log Entries report for the appropriate time 
period to determine the policy or schedule that received the error. 
2.  Verify that the storage unit's drives are not down or waiting for media from a 
previous operation that did not complete.
3.  Verify that all the storage units do not have their Maximum concurrent jobs 
attribute set to 0 (for disk storage units) and Maximum concurrent drives used for 
backup attribute set to 0 (for Media Manager storage units).
4.  Verify that the robot number and host name in the storage unit configuration 
matches the Media Manager device configuration.
5.  Determine if all storage units are set to On demand only for a policy and schedule 
combination that does not require a specific storage unit. If this is the case, either 
specify a storage unit for the policy and schedule combination or turn off On demand 
only for a storage unit.
6.  If the storage unit is on a UNIX NetBackup media server, it could indicate a 
problem with bpcd. Check /etc/inetd.conf on the media server to verify that the bpcd 
entry is ok. 
   If the storage unit is on a Windows NetBackup media server, verify that the 
NetBackup Client service has been started on the Windows NetBackup media server.
7.  For detailed troubleshooting information, create a bpsched debug log directory on 
the master server and retry the operation. Then, check the resulting debug log.
8.  On UNIX, run the NetBackup Configuration Validation Utility (NCVU) -conf 
<media_server> on the master server for the associated NetBackup media servers. Note 
the storage unit and tpconfig checks in section five.

When I got this error, I found that my tape drives were listed as Standalone, rather 
than being assigned to a robot. Unfortunately, I've forgotten what command I executed 
to reassign the drives, but that was a 4.5 install and it probably was different than 
the 3.4 command.  

Veritas suggests that the problem may occur if the master server is at a lower 
software patch level than the client(s).

There was an error with 3.4 which was patched at version 3.4.3. The system incorrectly 
returned a 213 error code in place of the proper error message, but I expect this is 
not the problem you are having.

Each tape is assigned to a pool. Each job selects tapes from a pool. If there are no 
tapes in the pool your job is looking for, this error will be returned.

That's all I can think of. You may wish to check Veritas' support site at 
http://seer.support.veritas.com for additional info. Please feel free to contact me if 
you wish.
