Netbackup 7.1
Windows 2008 R2
Qlogic QLE2460 HBAs
Quantum i6000 Tape Library with (HP) Ultrium5 and Ultrium 3 drives.
I’m a UNIX admin so don’t really know my way around windows well. The HBAs show up in Windows but no drives beneath them. The HBAs show up in Qlogic’s SANSurfer
and I see “type” as “disk” for the library and it doesn’t seem to have a place to change “type”. In SANSurfer I do see LUNs for each of the tape drives. After doing some research I used SANSurfer to turn on persistent binding and rebooted but it doesn’t
seem to make a difference.
When I go into NBU console and try to create storage units it shows me the TLD0 but has it in red so presumably there is a problem. If I try to go ahead and
configure it it says:
“The device is not supported by the volumes wizard at this time”.
Are library is partitioned so that all but 1 of the drives is one partition and that 1 drive (an Ultrium 3) is in the other partition. In the Windows devices
I see the Ultrium 3 as a tape drive and the NBU storage units show that as well. The windows devices do not show the drives from the other partitions.
I do have the SSO and Tape Drives options licensed on the server. All the appropriate NBU services seem to be running.
If I try to setup storage unit in the NBU GUI for disk storage (for our attached dedupe appliances it shows this media server but when I tell it to use the tape
it doesn’t show it.
Any ideas?
