That is what I am kind of beginning to figure out.

Hi,
I recommend you to check all SW and FW versions (HBA, Switch, MDR).
Furthermore, read the LEGATO TECHNICAL BULLETIN 373: SCSI or TPRLO Reset
Causes Corruption (Windows).
We had the same problems and adding dedicated HBA's for tape devices solved
the problem. This is a general rule in building a SAN (Windows, UNIX, ...).
regards,
Patrick Sibilio
