Mark,

I was having sporadic problems with 213 errors, at first only once a week
or so, then every couple of days.  It was some kind of port connection 
problem, possibly a network timeout.

What finally seems to have made the problem go away is something
that the Veritas tech who was working with me suggested.  He had me
change a tcp system parameter:

ndd -set /dev/tcp  tcp_time_wait_interval 1000

You have to add this parameter to /etc/system to make it a permanent
change.  If you just set it via ndd, the setting will reset the next time
you reboot.

I haven't had any more 213 errors since I made this change.

Problems, not only media not avalaible, check the bpsched logs, i had
full of 213 and still no luck fixing them.
check network cables, speed and duplex of the ports. (this help me on
90% of the 213 errors)
