[Veritas-bu] ndmp drives down after netapp upgrade to 8.1.1RC1

we have a netbackup 7.1.0.3 environment, linux master/media servers. after upgrading 2 netapp fas3160's to 8.1.1RC1, the direct attached (thru a san switch) lto5 tape drives went down, and go back down after "up'ing" them. 1 netapp has 1 drive, the other has 2 drives, and all 3 went down and stay down. from the first filer i see the tape drive:

does anyone else have a setup with netapp ontap 8.1.1rc1 working? we have 12 other netapps at lower ontap versions that still work. i think i found a compatibility chart that says it is supported.

thanks,
