Paul,
I ran into this same situation about a month ago. I am running NB 4.5
FP5 on a Win2K master and media servers. These are connected using SSO
via fibre channel to a STK L80 library using HP LTO-1 drives.
I had a bad drive and had to replace it. After the replacement, I tried
performing a manual "Scan for hardware changes," with no luck. None of
the servers would discover the new drive in Windows Device Manager until
I rebooted them.
One thing I did not do was delete the old drive from Windows Device
Manager, as you did. After the reboot, it disappeared by itself.
I don't know if a reboot of the library, or a reset of the SCSI bus
would have made any difference.

I am running NB 4.5 (win2k master and media servers). I am using SSO
with = a STK L700 with IBM LTO-2 drives. Last week I had a bad LTO-2
drive. = Before the drive was replaced I used veritas Media and Device
Management = to delete the drive from all media and san/media servers
in veritas . = Then I removed the drive as a device from all media
servers using the = windows Device Manager ( not sure I had to do
this). When the new drive = was installed the win2k media and san/media
servers could not discover the = new drive. After rebooting a few of the
media servers the drive appeared = to those servers. But as the week
went on the servers that were not = rebooted started to get errors.
Eventually all our media servers got = messed up we needed to reinstall
all the tape drives. My question is when = replacing a SSO drive do I
need to use windows Device Manager to remove = it from all media
servers. If so,shouldn't windows rediscover the new = drive without a
reboot?=20
Thanks, =20
