Hello,
I had a similar problem. I am running NB4.5FP6 on W2k with a Fibre Channel
Attached HP ESL9595 LTO2 Library.
If you change the drive in the library you have to reconfigure the fibre
channel router inside the library (Drive serial number has changed). After that
the device has to be rebootet. In a fibre channel environment it can occour
that windows servers may lose their drives when the fibre channel router is
rebootet. The only chance you have is rebooting every master and SAN media
server.
Hope this helps
Martin

Betreff: [Veritas-bu] RE: Replacing a tape drive help
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
