Justin, 

Are you sharing the tape drive between systems. 
Is there any change one system could have the tape drive in use and another 
system could issue a rewind command to the tape drive?

Are you using SSO?

Hi,

We're running the latest F/W for HP LTO-3 tape drives (M6BS) for 4.0GBPS/FC 
drives.

As was noted in the previous conversation, errors such as:
1323762270 1 386 16 media-server 0 0 0 *NULL* bptm error unloading media, 
TpErrno = Robot operation failed
1322549252 1 388 16 media-server 1136618 1136513 0 client-hostname bptm 
FREEZING media id XAC228, External event caused rewind during write, all data 
on media is lost

When these errors occur in your environments (on multiple tapes) do you get the 
drives replaced in advanced or wait for them to fail completely?  In the past I 
had been getting them replaced regularly but its getting problematic they used 
to be servicing components multiple times per ewek.

Justin.
