Hello,

Our environment consists of an AIX master server running NB 4.5 FP5, 6
Windows 2000 media servers and a hundred and fifty various clients.

We are having all kinds of problems with Windows 2003/Media Server using
SSO.  I even purchased the Qlogic card recommended by Veritas, loaded the
appropriate drivers, but backups and duplicates always fail with "resource
is busy" errors.  It appears that Windows 2003 randomly grabs the 9840 tape
drives which are attached to a SAN along with all of the media severs and
master server. This interrupts the backup or dupe with the resource busy
error which then causes the backup to fail.  I've had an open cases with
Veritas, Microsoft and Qlogic for 6 months.

Even if all of the drives are deleted from Veritas on the 2003 media server
it still causes the same error, which leads me to believe this is more of a
Windows 2003 issue.

Does anybody have a 2003 media server using SSO running with no issues?

Thanks
Keith
