It seems to be connected with a larger SAN issue. It looks like the SAN momentarily disconnects, the original backup session quits, and the control session doesn't know about the reconnected backup session. So I remain on the sidelines until the larger SAN issue is resolved.

If nothing found in their scheduler or dsmerror log, a client trace may be needed to see what they think they are doing at that point. Given the client mix showing up, this might turn out to be a networking issue. Richard Sims
