Enterprise Manager Tape Backup issue

I have multiple failed backups jobs through the enterprise manager. I have a
n
event id 9 "\device\scis\aic78u21 did not respond within the timeout period"
and event id 15 "\device\tape0 is not ready for access yet." The aic78u21 is
the scsi controller and only appeared once. Since then, I have had multiple
event id 15. However I did boot up into the scsi utility and teh dlt tape
device is listed in the utility with scsi id 3, and the controler listed as
scsi id 7. I then ran a ntbackup job on a new media set and it ran fine.
However the scheduled jobs within enterprise manager still will not run. Our
SQL admin is no longer with us, and myself and another have been tasked with
the SQL admin, so we are both leery of making any changes that might have ba
d
reprecussions later. I thought about deleting and adding the tape device bac
k
into the enterprise manager, but I'm wondering if it is a media set issue.
What do you think?I forgot to mention that the device does show up in device manager with the
questions marks in the other devices category. Is this due to the device
running off of the scsi controller drivers?
