The biggest problem I can see straight of the bat is an MP on a FP install.
It has been my understanding that you must chose and stick with either the
FP releases or the MP releases.  They are not supposed to be
interchangeable.

                All, 
                Config : V480, X6768A FC HBA, L180 with 6 x LTO-II Fibre
drives connected via SANBridge x16 2GB switch. Drives are in 2 split zones
[3 in each]. Host has NB DC 4.5FP3 patched to MP5 installed. 
                Problem: Drives are only running about 20M per sec, in line
tape copy is VERY slow [slower than our SCSI L60], restores are even worse.
In fact I think I can safely say at the moment our 100k L180 is only
slightly faster than our old SCSI L60.
                Can anyone shed any light on why? If so - what can we do
about it? 
                Thanks people.
