As per above TN - NBU relies on OS for I/O, so, all troubleshooting needs to be done at Os level.

Be aware that status 84 is a generic write failure. It's often related to bad tape drives, but a fragile SAN infrastructure could also generate status 84's.
Inspect syslog or event log for SCSI sense codes:
