Be sure the 9840 f/w is *at least* 1.28.127

Lower rev's, very buggy, known for hung/locked/busy drives.

Good reference: sun bugid: 4401529

Subject: [Veritas-bu] hung tldd processes on Solaris NBU servers


Hi,

We manage several NBU 3.4.1 servers running on Solaris 7 & 8 E3500s using 
STK L700 libraries containing a dozen fibre channel 9840A tape drives ( 
directly attached to Brocade fabrics, no Crossroads type FC<->SCSI 
bridges). 
Several times a week we wind up with down drives due to hung tldd 
processes.  We can't get rid of these processes even with a kill -9, only 
rebooting seems to clean them up.
Veritas is telling us it's a Solaris system call problem.  Is anyone else 
experiencing anything similar on Solaris (or any other UNIX variant)?

Thanks,
Chad
