Concerning the failure to unload tapes on a DLT7000. I have a number of DLT7000 and DLT8000 libraries connected to Filers. I use Legato Networker and it requires setting high timeouts for eject sleep, unload sleep, mount sleep, etc., to work properly. The total for timeouts can be up to 5 minutes

Subject: Re: Backing up to netapp controlled drivers...
Don,
Netbackup 3.4 on solaris says not.
04/03/2002 16:14:17 netback dtoal1 backup of client dtoal1 exited with status 154 (storage
unit characteristics mismatched to request)
Speaking of netapp backups with netbackup,
I've been trying to figure out why a dlt7000 fails
to unload a tape, occasionally. Anyone else seen
this? No symptoms, no errors logged, but the next
backup of the netapp fails because "storage unit is
unavailable".
