I executed the command from some other machine(testing framework) using ssh.

Please see the below output:

Hi All,
Thank you for your always suport and help.
Currently i am working on a test, which include of thousands of AIR jobs running.
Meanwhile the execution of AIR jobs, when around 10000 jobs were successfully done, and all remanigs jobs still running, i executed "bpimmedia" to get the Backup Image, but this command is hanged from last 20 hours.
Can anyone please tell me is this the expected behaviour of command, when some backup jobs are still runnig so bpimmedia will wait untill all the backup jobs completed?

Which switches and options did you use with bpimmedia?
Where exactly did you run the command?
On Appliance or separate master?
What is NBU / Appliance version?
Can you see bpimmedia still in process table?
Any child processes started by the command?
Do you have logging enabled?
Check admin and bpdbm logs.

So, you ran the command from jpvm126.
Is this a master or media server?
OS and NBU version?
You did not specify a time frame (start and end date) - are duplications/replications still running?
If so, images are being changed constantly, meaning bpimmedia cannot finish!
I would personally kill this process and only run it when logging is enabled.
Wait till duplications/replications have finished or provide an end date for the command.
I will move this post to NBU forum as this does not seem to be related to NBU Appliances, but rather 3rd-party OST Appliance.

This TN is VERY old but shows the logs needed to troubleshoot:

Touchfiles are still relevant, but MAX_FILES_PER_ADD should now be MAX_ENTRIES_PER_ADD

I don't recommend running mklogdir - that enables all legacy logs which 1. will use disk space, 2. puts a massive load on the server (we usually only enable selected logs at a time, not everything).

Try to run
# time bpimmedia -d 01/01/1970 | wc -l
would it finish faster? Output to the termail is always slower that to the file to the another command
Try to run command with -legacy key because this delay might happen because of the new format:
#bpimmedia -dp DiskPool_febed_1 -stype NEC_HYDRA -legacy
