I would think that you've run into some sort of configuration issue. I've seen errors before when running a sysconfig -c (you may want to try this) where the filer runs fine but it's been optimized to run another way. In other words it may work fine the way that you have it but it might work better another way. If you can get the down time you may want to put the FCAL card into another slot and put the scsi card into slot six where it wants it.
Have you checked the configuration guide that netapp has online? If not check this out...

Hope this helps.

Checking the 6.1.1 configuration guide, they show slots 6 and 1, in that order, for adding a SCSI for tape card. Slot 6 has a FCAL board in it, so I popped the SCSI card into slot 1 -- but on reboot, the system grumbled
sysconfig: SCSI Adapter card (PN X201X) in slot 1 must be in one of these slots: 6,2.
So, like, what's up with that?
The hardware rollcall did list
slot 1: SCSI Host Adapter 1 (Qlogic ISP 1040B) Fast/Wide, Single-ended Firmware Version 4.65 Clock Rate 60MHz. 5: Tape: Quantum DLT7000 2150 I/O base 0xad00, size 0x100 memory mapped I/O base 0x9beff000, size 0x1000
which looks copasetic, but it is safe to go ahead and use it?
