Tape library problems and veritas

We are running Solaris 2.6, and veritas 4.5 MP6.

The tape library had been experiencing some odd errors, and this was put
down to the firmware release that was on the library.
We upgraded the library and the tape drives, and had no errors in the
process.
The library is a L3500 and upgrade the firmware from 2.2 to 2.5
The tape drives are Quantum DLT 7000 and the firmware upgraded from V85 to
V109.

However after we rebooted and restart netbackup, we get the follwing
messages.

At the time of writing this I am installing the latest jumbo patches,as the
machine is quite far behind. +/- 18 months - 2 years.
Any ideas?
