I have a Compaq ESL9000 which is connected through a Compaq Network
storage Router M2402 which houses 8 SDLT 160/320 drives. The problem I
am seeing is this. When the OS finds these drives (win2k sp4), it is
finding them out of order. That is, the LUN's are not ordered the same
as they are in the storage router or library. What this does is causes
the software (netbackup datacenter 4.5 MP3) to see the drives out of
order. This in turn is causing the drives to go down periodically with
the following in the error logs:
=20
Fatal open error on COMPAQSDLT3204 (device 4, \\.\Tape6): The system
cannot find the file specified.  DOWN'ing it
=20
As of last week, I had 6 drives in the library, and the system did not
have this problem. Adding the additional drives is causing this strange
behavior, and I was hoping that someone might be able to offer some
help.
