Cant comment on the unix, but that does not sound right! What sort of
library / connection is in place?

Does Windows "Plug 'n Play" allow you to perform a scan of hardware once its
back online?

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
