Tanuja,
I'm sorry, but we did what we did to get it to work. The avenue you suggested 
was one of the first things we tried. No success until we did what "we did".  
[Wink] 

BTW, the master servers (3) and media servers (9) are all Solaris 10 boxes, 
ACSLS server, with 3 master servers feeding an SL8500 library with 44 T10Kb 
tape drives, plus 12 9940b tape drives, with totally redundant robots in the 
SL8500.

One of them was just upgraded to 7.0.1 just last night....and that's a whole 
nuther "can of worms".  :)
