AIT-5 supported on Solaris 9?

I have a SpectraLogic 2k dual drive AIT-5 jukebox (scsi LVD) on Solaris
9/Sunfire 280R.
There does not appear to be a cpu bottleneck or memory issues as I checked
this with vmstat/iostat.

I'm seeing really slow backup times (4mb/sec). It's actually much slower
than
my SpectraLogic AIT-3 jukebox which I swapped out for the AIT-5.
My HBA is a Symbios Logic SYM22801 scsi card (same card I used for the
AIT-3 drive)
I'm using Legato Networker 7.3.3 which has support for AIT-5.

Is anyone using AIT-5 under Solaris 9 and does Solaris 9 support AIT-5
and or
are there any special drivers I may need? (st.conf) support?

The amount of data being backed up to each tape is wonderful so far
I'm seeing over 700 gigs per tape. If I can get the backup speeds
increased I'd be all set.

Thanks much.
