Hello Managers,
My problem was this:
>We recently upgraded our SUN server 1000 from Solaris 2.4 to 2.5.1 and are now experiencing some intermittent problems with ufsdumping to our external DAT and 8mm exabyte drives.
> The errors we get (from /var/adm/messages) are:
>May 29 09:41:14 earth unix: WARNING: /io-unit@f,e1200000/sbi@0,0/dma@1,81000/esp@1,80000/st@2,0 (st16):

I only recieved one answer (Bismark Espinoza).
In the end, what I did was to apply patch 103847 for ufsdump and revert to the 2.5.1 version of st.conf. This seemed to do the trick...
