Anyone know of any known issues with 4.5 FP6? I upgraded my master 
(Solaris9) last Monday and got exit status 213 errors for 334 backup 
policies, and exit status 0 for 408. So, it's not like the storage 
unit wasn't really available. I've seen hundreds of error code 13 
come in email, but the activity monitor doesn't show any error 13, 
but hundreds of error 50. 
Thinking this may all be a compatilbity issue between the 2 SAN servers 
and the master, I upgraded one SAN server on wednesday, the other on 
thrusday. Veritas support has had me change timeout parameters, do the 
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 1000
and change some of the system file settings - which I resisted because 
of the tech note 264867 recommendations. 
Of course the system changes brought about shared memory allocation errors - 
I changed them back - no more shared memory errors, but the 213 errors came
back. I did the ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_time_wait_interval 1000 and last night
for the first night in a week I did not have 213 or 13 errors, but there were
some 50 errors in the activity monitor..
ALSO, another very weird thing, one backup policy (according to the activity 
monitory) started at 22:06 last night, but got error code 50 (aborted) - 
this morning that policy was running (they get 2 tries) - but there were 2 
active backups doing the same policy. OH, and another weirdness, the
bpdbjobs report did not show any active backups.. but there were 2 tapes
in the drives - I hadn't looked at the GUI yet - but they probably would
have shown the jobs to be active since the completion time was 8:45am
I'm losing confidence in FP6. FP5 was a breeze.
Any ideas??

Thanks.
