    Team,

     

    Thanks for the input, it turns out there was an issue with the Quantum DXi that we are using for our VTL, we had about 20 virtual tapes stuck in drives and it appears that NetBackup was waiting for a response that the drives were unloaded and getting nothing so it would cause the [tldd] <defunct> process to hang. I had to reboot the DXi (manual unload did not work opened a case) to unload the drives, once back up I rebooted the media servers and any servers that drives were presented to in the environment to clear hung processes. Once back up all was good.

     

    Thanks again
