You may be one of the folks that can't get away with having disk and tape I/O
on the same HBA.
If you can, replace that HBA card with a 2-port HBA card, and separate the tape
from the disk I/O.

Thanks Steve.
I am going to try that as a start to resolving the problem. Even IBM
engineers seem to be adamant about it

It is different tapes and different drives.
I am starting to think it could be the HBA FC card in the physical blade that
connets to the backplane of the Blade Chassis.
The tapes are ok, and it will happen on a new tape as well. All drive tests
come out as ok with now errors.

Hi Adrian
I used to believe that the recommendation to use separate HBAs for disk
and tape traffic was just that and could be safely ignored. However we
had a customer with a large Exchange infrastructure, Lan free and shared
traffic that had repeated backup corruptions. The appropriate people
When you say "sporadically", do you mean this tape is really OK and the errors
are transient?
If you run AUDIT on this tape on the same drive, at another time, does the tape
read OK?
Or does the same tape always fail?
