I'm trying to restore a database backup to a new server. It's 6.2 on
Windows 2008 64-bit, with an HP library and LTO3 drives. I cannot get the
library to see the TSM device driver, and it shows up as Unknown Medium
Changer. I tried deleting the devices and installing the driver, but it
came back the same way. Any attempts to install it just return a message
that it's at the most current level.
Thing is, yesterday I was able to work around it. I was able to change
devconf.out to make the library a manual one, and it would mount tapes. I
had to do some other stuff that necessitated switching back to the old
server and taking a new database backup, and when we came back up on the new
server, the devconf.out was basically wiped, probably on reboot. Now, when
I try to make the library a manual one, I'm getting an error message that
the device parameter in the "define path" line is not valid for a 349x
library. I have no clue why it's trying to make it that kind of library.
I've tried a number of different configs, and I'm beating my head against a
wall at this point.
Original devconf.out (modified for privacy):
/* Device Configuration */
DEFINE DEVCLASS LT03 DEVTYPE=LTO FORMAT=DRIVE MOUNTLIMIT=DRIVES MOUNTWAIT=60

The logical device names did change, and I modified them accordingly in my
new devconf.out, but it didn't help. I need to get this library visible in
some way so that this database can be restored. I've been all over the
internet, but my Windows skills are limited, so I might be missing
something.
TIA
