Re: [Veritas-bu] Setting up Windows Media Server

I had already done the masking in the library. As noted earlier SANSurfer is
seeing the drives under the controllers. The library also shows the host HBAs
as "online" where I mapped them.
Multiple people mentioned the drivers no longer being provided by NetBackup to
me but on going to Quantum's site it suggests that the driver is supplied by
Symantec for both BackupExec and NetBackup. It also unfortunately makes you
contact support for i6000 driver updates so I've opened a case with Quantum for
that.
In Windows Device Manager I see LTO3 twice which is odd to me as there is only
1 LTO3 in one partition that I would typically see as "standalone" on my other
servers. There is another LTO3 in the other partition but also 10 LTO5s - I'd
expect it not show me the 2nd LTO3 if it isn't also showing me the LTO5s for
the other partition so I'm not sure if this is a duplicate entry for the 1
drive or not.
Driver Details for both LTO3s shown in Windows Device Manager is:
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERs\ltotape.sys MS version 6.1.7600.16385
(win7_rtm.090713-1255)
So for those of use using libraries does the Windows Device Manager show all
the attached drives as "tape drives" in the listing for just "tape drivers"?
Do you see anything under the storage controllers other than the HBAs? (All I'm
seeing are the HBAs.)
The drives are made by HP - one person suggested I needed HP drivers. Is this
something I'd need to get from HP even though in a Quantum library?

The key thing is to get the Windows system to see the drives first. Symantec
stopped shipping device drivers for Windows several versions ago and is relying
upon the underlying operating system to properly configure the drives. Quantum
should have on their web site some Windows drivers for the library and the tape
drives.
On the i6000, there is some advanced masking you have to do for the drives to
be properly seen by the media server. You might have to work with Quantum to
get this done. Quantum will need the WWN's of the FC adapters in you media
server to accomplish this.
