ESL Tape Library and LTO5 drives

S.Martin — Sat, 07 May 2011 07:57:04 GMT

I have just installed 4 LTO5 tape drives into my esl library. Command view see's them fine, they are seen and zoned onto the fabric, but I cannot get my windows servers to see them .. including the cell manager. Partitions were able to successfull extend to add.

Has anyone seen this before?

thanks,

Suzanne

Wild guess, but have you used Command View to ensure that the firmware of the library/robot/controller matches the firmware of the drives?

Have you gone into Windows Device Mangler and rediscovered HW to force Windows to look for the new drives?
