I have two Solaris 10 media servers attached to an ACS library (via
ACSLS), and have the latest Sun patch clusters installed, including the
-14 rev of this particular patch, and have no problem. The mpt driver is
for locally attached Parallel or SCSI devices, so your library physical
connectivity may determine your exposure to this particualr issue.

Just an FYI, if you are running Solaris 10 on a Netbackup server, do not
apply this patch:

mpt driver patch 125081-10 (or above) (I tried 125081-14)

This patch introduces a change which breaks the sg driver.  See
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6651884

Basically all your tape drives and robotic devices go away.  Not so
good.
