Technical Tip: Tasks are blocked due to 'Waiting for other session id'

[stymofiiev]

Description	This article describes a situation when some tasks in FortiManager are stuck due to the error below:
Scope	FortiManager.
Solution	To unblock the tasks the best way to go is to kill the admin session which is blocking the current tasks. Check the session ID which is blocking the tasks and use the command below: diag sys admin-session kill <session ID> There are some scenarios where session kill is unable to be killed or there is a nested session that is preventing the kill. For those scenarios it is possible to use the following commands: diagnose dvm task reset diagnose dvm task repair The difference between them is that the reset command purges all the task list database and repair will try to recover only the pending task with 0%. Consider that Both above commands require FortiManager to reboot. Hint: ADOM workspace feature may be used to prevent such situations.
