one thing I have noticed is when looking to see what LTO drives are supported in my OS, I get 2 entries for IBM drives: pcf-lgtoux # strings /kernel/drv/st | grep LTO HP Ultrium LTO 3 HP Ultrium LTO 2 HP Ultrium LTO Seagate Ultrium LTO IBM Ultrium Gen 3 LTO IBM Ultrium Gen 3 LTO IBM Ultrium Gen 2 LTO IBM Ultrium Gen 2 LTO IBM Ultrium LTO IBM Ultrium LTO Is this unusual? Is there any chance that this may be related to the problems I am having? Jeff Ekstrom Solutions Engineer SANZ, Inc. Vienna, VA

If those drives are in only one zone, then that certainly eliminates many different possibilities (like another host sending a spurious reset). Tracking down fiber errors is never fun. Sysadmin tools aren't very good at that level. Make sure all the drives and switches are at recommended firmware levels. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
