Quick Q - regarding windows - is it Windows Server 2003 Enterprise or
standard?

For our standard Win2k3 servers we had to reboot to get the drives back, but
for Enterprise we do NOT need to reboot. The Plug and Play feature finds the
drives and allows us to function correctly.

Haven't got SAN Media Servers but have got SSO & I have had some luck
getting drives back by unloading and reloading the sg driver.

back*without* rebooting ?


Hi all,

We are consistently having to reboot our servers (both windows and unix) to
get our LTO3 SSO drives back (after they mysteriously disappear).

Scenario:

For one reason or another we loose a drive and to get it back for example we
powercycle our library and our NB master can now see the drive(s), however,
our SAN Media servers cannot see the drives unless we reboot them. This is
*bad* -
_really_ bad. These are production servers and cannot be rebooted on a whim.

So the question:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Can anyone recommend how to get SAN Media Servers to see their SSO drives
again
*without* having to reboot ?

We are running NB-6.0-MP3 both Solaris and Windows 2003 Masters.

Regards

 -aW
