Writing, 2147483647 sessions

Somewhere along the way in NetWorker 7.6 SP1, an annoying reporting issue crept in where a device would report the number of sessions it was writing in an odd way. This didn’t always appear to be consistently repeatable, and in practice it wasn’t a major issue, but still, as cosmetic bugs go it wasn’t desirable.

According to Skip Hanson, a senior member of the NetWorker usability team, in a recent reply on the NetWorker mailing list, this issue has been resolved in 7.6 SP1 Cumulative Release 3 (i.e., 7.6.1.3).

If you’re experiencing this bug, you may wish to review the update notes for 7.6.1.3 and see whether it would be applicable to apply on your site.

You can always find the latest update notes for cumulative releases at the NetWorker Product Support page on Powerlink:

[Note: 2011-02-19] It would appear this issue does actually still exist in NetWorker 7.6.1.3.
