So it's not currently detecting tape drives on the scsi-compatible
busses.  I imagine if you tried to run the wizard right now it would say
detected 0 drives.

The output I showed is comfing from a windows box (the shell was a
cygwin bash shell).

C:\Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\bin\scan -tape (assuming default install
location).


When I'm having drive detection issues my iterative treatment usually
goes something like this:

*) swear about MS drive/driver issues
*) use HBA utility to verify I can see tape target logged in on FC
*) uninstall tape drivers
*) reboot
*) uninstall tape drivers again to make sure no errors (may need reboot)
*) reinstall tape drivers
*) verify "device manager" shows what I expect
*) verify "scan -tape" shows what I expect
*) delete screwed up devices from NBU config
*) run device setup wizard to pick drives back up

I might only do a subset of that if I'm more certain about what the
actual issue is.
