Dear subscribers,

FC/SCSI router StorageTek SN3300 (actually Crossroads OEM) has a nice 
option to buffer tape I/O, which 
have proven to greatly increase performance.

However when used with NetBackup, this buffering causes error "EOM 
returned when writing media header" 
every time job fills up a tape and tries to label a new one. So it's 
basicly unusable.

Anyone out there managed to fix this behaviour and utilized router 
buffering?

My environment is:
- HP LTO3 SCSI (fw G24S or G27S)
- router StorageTek SN3300 (fw 5.6.4f)
- NetBackup 5.1 MP4
- Windows 2000 or 2003
- tape drives Veritas 5.1.1.1 or HP 1.0.3.1

regards, 
Jakub
