Hi all,

Is anyone else seeing hanging backup sessions under 7.2.6.1 when doing NDMP backups to a directly attached FC LTO4 tape drives, using CommVault 7.0.0 Update 76 Version #### software?

For example:

> ndmpd status ndmpd ON. Session: 79 Active version: 4 Operating on behalf of primary host. tape device: not open mover state: Idle data state: Idle data operation: None

> backup status

ID State Type Device Start Date Level Path -- ----------- ---- ------ ------------ ----- --------------- 0 RESERVED NDMP 1 RESERVED NDMP 2 RESERVED NDMP 3 RESERVED NDMP 4 RESERVED NDMP 5 RESERVED NDMP 6 RESERVED NDMP 7 RESERVED NDMP 8 RESERVED NDMP 9 RESERVED NDMP 10 RESERVED NDMP 11 RESERVED NDMP 12 RESERVED NDMP 13 RESERVED NDMP 14 RESERVED NDMP 15 RESERVED NDMP 16 RESERVED NDMP 17 RESERVED NDMP 18 RESERVED NDMP 19 RESERVED NDMP 20 RESERVED NDMP 21 RESERVED NDMP 22 RESERVED NDMP 23 RESERVED NDMP 24 RESERVED NDMP 25 RESERVED NDMP 26 RESERVED NDMP 27 RESERVED NDMP

Now I know I can just do:

> backup terminate #

to cleanup these sessions, but I'm wondering why I'm seeing them in the first place, esp since my other sites running the same software and OSes aren't seing these issues, or at least not to as great a degree. It could be that I've mis-configured CommVault somehow...
