I have a couple of solaris hosts that are generating error 24 very soon after 
the backup job has started or after a tape change. What I am seeing is that, in 
these jobs, its taking the robot (stk l700) ~1:30 to mount the tape and maybe 
another 2-2:30 to position. I think that this is simply too long and the 
solaris hosts are closing the connection. I am thinking of turning on bptm 
logging but I want to know if this is really going to show me anything as it 
fills up disk space quickly. Aside from bptm logging, is there another good way 
to determine why the mounting/positioning is taking so long? The drives (dlt) 
have all been recently cleaned.
