Solaris 8 and 9
Networker 7.0 and 7.1.1
Exabyte L110 with IBM LTO-2
Due to limited availibility of other Tape vendors we chose Imation.

I changed most components in the loop so far
made sure that all lto drives have their own scsi channel and reduced the load
on the machine (Sun E450 with 1 Gb mem and 2 400Mhz Ultra sparc2)
my last conclusion is that this tape vendors quality screeing is far below
good.
