NetBackup Datacenter v3.4 and v4.5 report status 84's on all backup jobs.
The writes appear to complete fine (correct number of files and KB's
written) though when NBU completes it reports status 84.  BPTM log reflects
that an "external event caused a media rewind". 
 
HBA - LP7000 (driver v4.1.0.16) (all IBM drivers have been removed)
 
AdvanTAPE driver version 2.2 on a AIX 4.3.3 RS6000 (F50)
 
9840 SCSI tape drives in a STK 9738 library
 
Pathlight FC/SCSI Gateway w/latest firmware
 
Veritas ovpass robotic control
 
AIX 4.3.3 is patched to maintanence level 4.3.3-4.3.3.0.10
 
Has anyone experience this situation? Are there any device driver settings
that need to be changed.  I am using the defaults.
 
 
Thanks, Lee
