SCSI mode degrade problem

Hi list,

We have a L25 tape library hooked to a v880 running Solaris 8 (both L25
and the SCSI card on the v880 are HVD). We have been having problems
with power-cycling the L25 since we started using it:

1) Everytime after we power-cycle the L25 library, the SCSI mode will
degrade and the write speed of the tape drives will drop from 12Mb/s
down to 3Mb/s. We can only bring the SCSI mode back to normal by
rebooting the machine.

2) After rebooting the machine, the tape drive speed will get back to
normal again (about 12Mb/s).

My question is: how, other than rebooting the machine, can we bring the
degraded SCSI mode to normal? Any idea why the SCSI mode degrades
whenever we power-cycle the L25 tape library, or has anybody ever
encountered this kind of problem?

Thanks,

Rongsheng Fang
