My guess is problems surrounding the new SCSI reserve code.  This could be 
either a problem with the new code or a problem on your systems that is now 
getting reported.  
 
To narrow this down, tighten the zoning on your SAN so that only systems which 
use the tape drives can see them.  If the problem goes away, then it's a 
problem on your SAN that has just been (effectively) resolved.
 
Cheers,
 
Stuart.

I tested 7.3.1 on AIX 5.1 and had numerous difficulties with my backup
devices. Hundreds of SCSI bus errors. I think the 7.3.1 Networker LUS is
just not working correctly with AIX 5.1 or possibly my tape system
(Powerloader w/LTO2).

Networker 5.x-7.2.2 has never given me these problems before, the SCSI
bus errors started when I tried 7.3.1. Going back to 7.2.2 everything is
fine.
