Noticed this on a 740 that's only got 1 DLT. Veritas netbackup is scheduling bkp jobs with ndmp, from a sun box. There've been some odd failures where the tape fails to unload after the bkp, recently. ndmpd status doesn't show any sessions active when that happens though. Right now I'm seeing 2 ndmp sessions; I don't recall that before, and I'm wondering if this means netbackup is having problems. The ip addr is the sun box running nb, for both sessions; there's a bkp running while I'm looking at this. 6.1.3R2
