I am building a new Windows 2003 master server running NBU 6.0 MP2 to
replace an existing Windows 2000 NBU 4.5 install.

On the current server, I have a script that loads a catalog tape and
does a catalog backup for offsite rotation. Works dandy.

The same script won't work on the new server, and I think it may have to
do with the fact that the new library is fibre-connected instead of
direct SCSI-attached? My drives do not have a drive path such as
\\.\Tape0 in the GUI as they do on the old server. I don't know if that
is normal for fibre-connected hardware. Using tpreq to mount the tape
generates a temp file that has SCSI coordinates of {4,1,0,x} instead and
NetBackup fails trying to write to that path with the error 'open() of
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\nb_mount failed, Incorrect function'. A log shows
'serial number mismatch for drive with SCSI coordinates {4,1,0,2}, path
\\.\Tape0, drive serial number HUL5B01231, expected serial number
<blank>'.  

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Lee Anne
