Strange cfgadm issue

Guys we are attaching a L500 via fiber to a Solaris box running Solaris8.
Got the latest SAN4.4.10 installed with all patches etc.

When we do a configure on c6 it does the tape drives but errors when it
comes to the robot itself.

We have had the HBA replaced, the GBIC on the switch replaced.
Storagetek have said the L500 is ok so im just stuck now. With it saying
i/o error it still makes me think hardware but i dont know what.

Other strange thing is i can see the wwn of the med changer but it wont
configure and therefore wont create the correct device paths on solaris.

Anyone any ideas?
