Hi Tim,

We also see the nsrmmd processes hang from time to time, and have a case opened with EMC to review this as well. I am not sure which platform you are running on, but when we have this issue on our Solaris ( Unix ) Networker server, we use the lsof utility against the tape device ( /usr/local/bin/lsof /dev/rmt/0cbn ) which will return the process id of the nsrmmd process. From this information we can usually do a 'kill <pid>' and the nsrmmd daemon restarts. I know this is not a great solution, but it has saved us from restarting the application from time to time. Your milage will vary.

Subject
[Networker] Hanging session






Hello,

when a sessions dies due to an error it sometimes stays visible in nsrwatch. There is no process connected to it anymore but the session blocks a drive (it is backupping to that tape, but no bit is written to it). After a while the session disappears, but that can take hours and sometimes, it stays there forever. The only solution then is to restart the networker daemons.

Is there a way to kill these sessions without restarting the networker daemons??
