Peter, 

I wasn't clear from your posting:  are you saying you installed NetWorker 
7.x on a T2000 (Solaris 10)?  If so, what kind of tape drive(s) is 
installed onto the T2000?   

Asking because Sun has given me a script to run on one of my NW servers 
(Sol8/UltraSPARC III) to evaluate whether NetWorker will run well on a 
T2000, and the script pointed out what it thinks are a number of FP 
(floating point) operations being called by nsrmmd.   They may actually 
not be FP operations at all, but showing up as such because of a way that 
some processor calls are apparently piped down the FP pipe on the CPU 
(according to a T1 engineer at Sun I've heard from on this.)

Thanks!
