This system is not running a SAN. The Powerloader and LTO2 drive are
directly connected to the RS6000 server via enternal SCSI cable. (Ganite

I really don't think this is a system problem.

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.
