Hi,

I upgrade our netbackup 5.0MP5 server to solaris 10 from solaris 8.

I'm able to get data to the disk staging storage unit without a problem.

The issue i'm having is when data is being copied to our two LTO2 tape
drives.

The Solaris 10 installer commented out a bunch of shared memory settings
in /etc/system

I'm also getting the following messages

Nov 8 09:25:51 netbackupSVR tldd[9546]: [ID 786622 daemon.error] TLD(0)

In my experience, scsi errors are scsi errors but the scsi chain worked
fine under solaris 8.

There are now entries for the drive under the st.conf since the drive
should be supported by Solaris 10 st driver.

Any sugestions would be appreciated.
