I had already done the masking in the library.   As noted earlier SANSurfer is 
seeing the drives under the controllers.   The library also shows the host HBAs 
as "online" where I mapped them.

Multiple people mentioned the drivers no longer being provided by NetBackup to 
me but on going to Quantum's site it suggests that the driver is supplied by 
Symantec for both BackupExec and NetBackup.  It also unfortunately makes you 
contact support for i6000 driver updates so I've opened a case with Quantum for 
that.

In Windows Device Manager I see LTO3 twice which is odd to me as there is only 
1 LTO3 in one partition that I would typically see as "standalone" on my other 
servers.  There is another LTO3 in the other partition but also 10 LTO5s - I'd 
expect it not show me the 2nd LTO3 if it isn't also showing me the LTO5s for 
the other partition so I'm not sure if this is a duplicate entry for the 1 
drive or not.

Driver Details for both LTO3s shown in Windows Device Manager is:
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERs\ltotape.sys  MS version 6.1.7600.16385 
(win7_rtm.090713-1255)

So for those of use using libraries does the Windows Device Manager show all 
the attached drives as "tape drives" in the listing for just "tape drivers"?
Do you see anything under the storage controllers other than the HBAs? (All I'm 
seeing are the HBAs.)

The drives are made by HP - one person suggested I needed HP drivers.  Is this 
something I'd need to get from HP even though in a Quantum library?

The key thing is to get the Windows system to see the drives first.  Symantec 
stopped shipping device drivers for Windows several versions ago and is relying 
upon the underlying operating system to properly configure the drives.  Quantum 
should have on their web site some Windows drivers for the library and the tape 
drives.

On the i6000, there is some advanced masking you have to do for the drives to 
be properly seen by the media server.  You might have to work with Quantum to 
get this done.  Quantum will need the WWN's of the FC adapters in you media 
server to accomplish this.
