Define excessive? I'm running NBU 3.2 on a Solaris E450 with an L11000 library 
and I'm having similar problems. I usually freeze the tape in question so it 
won't get mounted again. When the last image has expired, I remove the tape 
from service. I have replaced several drives in the library because it appeared 
that the failures were always occurring on the same two drive here lately. 
However, I have also noticed that 99% of my tape problems are with Fuji tapes 
(I have Fuji, Quantum and Compaq). There have been a previous conversation that 
indicate all DLT tapes are created equal (and by the same manufacturer) but I'm 
not sure I buy that. Especially when you consider that the reason we bought the 
Fuji tapes in the first place was because they were the least expensive. If all 
are created equal (i.e. by the same manufacturer) why don't they cost the same 
and perform the same?

Regards,
Dennis

Hello All:

Anybody get an excessive amount of 84's in their 3.2 NB on HPUX
11.00 environment? We use STK's and HP L700's. Firmware is
recent. We have 4 other environments just like this one but the
84's are non-stop in this one environment.
Easy enough fix (clean drive or replace media and rerun job) but
we have the operators running around all night fixing these 84's.
