The sheduler should not queue a job after the backup window. I'd advise
creating a bpsched log to verify this, also, if you set VERBOSE in the
vm.conf and monitor you syslog ( is ./var/adm/messages, etc) you will
the the drive and robotic operations, and in there you will see it
explicity tell you why the drives are going down. then fix the problem.
