Hi All,

Networker 7.6.0
Solaris10
500ish clients
4,000 save sets a night

We've had some issues over the past few weeks which I've finally pinned down to server parallelism being set too low. I've temporarily resolved it by adding two storage node licenses and increasing the server parallelism from 96 to 160.

Before I spend too long digging through the tools, has anyone already got a good command line way to get the number of current sessions that NetWorker thinks are running or eligible to run? I'm thinking that /usr/sbin/jobquery is my friend here, but I've yet to figure out which type and/or status I need to be counting to see how far above "server parallelism" I'm asking the system to go.

I know Thierry's got a way to tally up what has happened historically (make a very nice display in nsr_reporter), but I'm looking for a current sessions count, so that I can figure out if it's server parallelism that's stopping the system from progressing. (and dump it in my database for long term reference)

Many thanks
Will
