We use SmartMedia and Networker to perform DDS, and
the setup is mixed of NTs and Unixs
The information below come is one package (at similar
time)
Networker error:
- bad file number error
- unable to read file xx record yy
- then networker will marked the media full

for system messages (/var/adm/messages)
- there is SCSI error (with ASQ information)
  like: SCSI bus is cleared by another initiator etc
- there is reset reported on the drive networker used.

The reset can happen on the random drive as well.
After replacing the tape drive and the cables, we are
now out of this problem.

What's your setup like?
