It is a Powedge 2400 running Windows 2000 server. The library has one LTO2 drive in it and the drivers for both are the latest Veritas drivers downloaded from their site. The SCSI card is an internal card that came with the library and was installed at that time. I only run one backup job at a time.
That seems kind of strange since Dell sent me the SCSI card with the Library. Do you have a link to the drivers? I can't seem to find them on the site. Thanks.

Which server model and OS are you using?
Which tape drive model is installed? (LTO2, SLDT..etc)
Is the AIC7880 an onboard controller or a external adapter?
When you see the I/O errors, was there only one backup job running, or two simultaneous jobs running?
Are you using Veritas tape class drivers or the OEM tape driver?

The 132T has only been validated on the 39160 SCSI controller and not the AIC7880.
Make sure that you are using the latest SCSI drivers which can be downloaded from the DELL web site.

If DELL sent the scsi card, than it was most likely a Adaptec 39160, not an AIC7880.
Go to the support.dell.com website. All system drivers (OS drivers and adapter firmware) can be downloaded from this website.
Make sure your SCSI adapter has the latest firmware and driver.
