My media server is:
 
Win Server 2003 std SP1
Dell PV 132T, 1 x LTO3
Backup Exec 10d SP3
 
LUNs are on a CLARiiON CX300i (iSCSI)
EMC Power Path for iSCSI 1.1 eFIX 2
 
What sort of problem with the PV? What leads you to think it might be the EMC software?

We have a smiliar LUNs set up except they are on FC HBAs.
 
Here's problem we encountered.  After installing powerpath on the media server, both tape libraries went off-line on the devices tap. Called last Veritas for support last Thrusday, but they haven't call back yet reagrding this matter.( I found it quite typical) In mean while I uninstalled powerpath fromt he media server and both tape libraries came back on-line.  But this required to  reinstall Veritas device drivers for both libraries and tape drives.
