Did you preserve your st.conf file before applying the jumbo patch?

I would start there, since the jumbo patches are notorious for laying
down a "new" copy of the st.conf file.

After re-reading one of the sections of your email...its seems that this
may not be the case.  You mention that manual submissions seem to work,
but scheduled do not.  

I would created bpsched, bpdbm and bptm directories to start in
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs to see what information you may get from it. 

I would pay particular attention to bptm and bpsched.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media Open error (83) having upgraded the OS

Folks,

Hope all is well today.

Netbackup Business Server 3.2, Solaris 8 on a Sun Ultra-5 system, no MPs
of FPs, just the Solaris jumbo patch for Netbackup (108261-11).

I have been testing 3.2 and the effect of upgrading Solaris from 2.6 to
8 on a test system with a standalone tape drive.  Sun said all I would
need to do having upgraded was to install the jumbo patch mentioned
above.

One thing I did have to do having upgraded/patched the OS was to
re-install the sg driver as it was missing
(/opt/openv/volmgr/bin/driver/sg.install).

Backups are now a fairly unpredictable affair.  I think any manual
backup I kick off via bpadm works successfully, but anything that's
scheduled or run via cli (bpbackup) can fail with an error code of 83
(media open error).

I've searched the Veritas archive and uncovered nothing, the archive for
veritas-bu did have an entry from about 2001, which said to check
classes.  I have .... they're fine.

I'm now running the ltid daemon in verbose mode, but this is as good as
it gets :-

10:28:19 [19382] <2> bptm: INITIATING: -mlist -cmd 
10:28:19 [19382] <2> bptm: EXITING with status 0 <----------

10:29:28 [19358] <2> io_open: retrying open, errno = I/O error

10:29:33 [19358] <2> check_error_history: called from bptm line 13294,
EXIT_Stat
us = 83 

The above is a small section, I didn't want to stuff this e-mail with
output.

Have I got some kind of drive configuration problem post-upgrade or do I
need to look at the batch of media that I am using?  Do I need a
Netbackup patch of some kind?

Thank you in advance & have a splendid day,
Paul
