media write error(84) with NBU dedup

cs753js
Level 3

Hope that someone can shed some light on this.

We switched to deduplication backups with NBU7 recently.
At the beginning everything was running smoothly, but now that many backup policies are running (as well as duplication to tape via SLP) we start getting error 84 far too frequently.
In the details of the job we see write errors and read errors.
Is there any kind of resource contention on the media deduplication pool that we should fine tuning?
Please see an excerpt of the bptm log on the media deduplication server:

My recommendation: Log a call with Symantec Support.

I found references to bugs with dedup option (google 'NetBackup dedup status 84) - not exactly the errors you are seeing, but it was me, I'd get a call logged.

everything was running great and then we started getting the error 84 messages.  Seems to only be happening on our Windows 2008 boxes though.
