Re: [Networker] Tape drives goes offline quite often

Hi,

Check the st driver for the Solaris, if you have a older driver it could be
causing the problem.
The st driver patch for Solaris 9 is: 113277 install the latest available
patch.

Same way if u have other OS release install the appropaite patch.

Hope this will help
