Im seeing Drive downs on my systems using fibre. They seem to have 
dissapeared from 2 of the media managers also.

running netbackup 5.0 mp4 with Sun L700 library 5 LTO2 drives, 3 of 
which are shared SSO option to 2 other media servers.

All connected via a san switch ( what type i dont know as its in a 
remote site and i didnt install it ). I know the drives are zoned 
somehow and the wwn's for devices are in /kernel/drv/sd.conf. Everything 
was working fine and now some devices cant be seen when running cfgadm 
-al it says failing..

Storedgetek have been out to check drives and say they are fine , yet 
every day my script notes 2 going down and brings them backup. It was 
just one of the shared drives now it has moved to 2 so all my ITC fails 
for the media servers.

I have been trying to run cfgadm to reconfigure but i cant seem to get 
the syntax right

:(
