Few different solution options I can think of. I don't know what your

Not necessarily. Have you checked any of the performance stats on the filer?
Do you know if you're overrunning NVRAM or experiencing back-to-backup
checkpoints?
I've seen this happen with NetApp before, where performance starts out fine but
if the workload is such that you start to overrun
No, this will not happen. If you think about it, when atl09 fails that means
this controller is actually down/offline. Since the tape drives are only
connected to this controller, there's no way for atl08 to communicate with them.
