Hello Frank

if you windows box is writing to the tape drives, make sure that block size 
is 64k (65536) or less.

master server is a unix and the file server is win2k3. I have a ESL9000 
attached to a san switch that the file server is attached too. Problem with 
the job is it will run for 4 to 5 hours and then fail with a code 84 (media 
write error). I have eliminated the tapes being the problem cause I have used 
new tapes and still get this error. I am wondering if its something with the 
switch or if it's the drives. It happens on multiple drives not just one.
