[Veritas-bu] Error 85's

I have been getting random error 85’s since adding AIX media servers. I have an i2000 with 16 LTO3 drives that are all shared between 5 Window media server and 4 AIX Media servers. The Master is 6.0 MP5 on Windows. All the tapes are shared from the scratch pool, meaning if a tape was written by a windows media server it goes right back into the scratch pool once its expired and can now be grabbed by an AIX server.

Due to the randomness of the error 85’s is there a chance that the AIX servers are writing to the tapes in a different header size or block size that is causing the servers to freak out?

Veritas was unable to help with this problem (surprise).

Thanks
