Your result is correct for U160 SCSI. Ask this because my server does
the following after boot

[  274.856902]  target8:0:3: Beginning Domain Validation
[  274.857759]  target8:0:3: asynchronous
[  274.858221]  target8:0:3: Wide Transfers Fail
[  274.859208]  target8:0:3: FAST-40 SCSI 40.0 MB/s ST (25 ns, offset 31)
[  274.858221]  target8:0:3: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
[  274.859208]  target8:0:3: FAST-20 SCSI 20.0 MB/s ST (50 ns, offset 31)
[  274.858221]  target8:0:3: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
[  274.859306]  target8:0:3: FAST-10 SCSI 10.0 MB/s ST (100 ns, offset 31)
[  274.859208]  target8:0:3: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
[  274.859791]  target8:0:3: FAST-5 SCSI 5.0 MB/s ST (200 ns, offset 31)
[  274.859791]  target8:0:3: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
[  274.860411]  target8:0:3: asynchronous
[  274.860411]  target8:0:3: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
[  274.861039]  target8:0:3: asynchronous
[  274.861039]  target8:0:3: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
[  274.861665]  target8:0:3: asynchronous
[  274.861665]  target8:0:3: Domain Validation detected failure, dropping back
[  274.862033]  target8:0:3: Domain Validation Failure, dropping back
to Asynchronous
[  274.862040]  target8:0:3: Domain Validation skipping write tests
[  274.862044]  target8:0:3: Ending Domain Validation


And that means the tape drive will operate at 5MB/s mode max. To fix
this I am forced to

modprobe -r myscsicarddriver
modprobe myscsicarddriver

after the system has fully booted and then all is well:
[  275.166333]  target8:0:4: Beginning Domain Validation
[  275.166314]  target8:0:4: asynchronous
[  275.167750]  target8:0:4: wide asynchronous
[  275.167750]  target8:0:4: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns,
offset 62)
[  275.169173]  target8:0:4: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns,
offset 62)
[  275.170789]  target8:0:4: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns,
offset 62)
[  275.172219]  target8:0:4: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns,
offset 62)
[  275.173880]  target8:0:4: FAST-80 WIDE SCSI 160.0 MB/s DT (12.5 ns,
offset 62)
[  275.174932]  target8:0:4: Domain Validation skipping write tests
[  275.174937]  target8:0:4: Ending Domain Validation
