We have 4 x HP LTO3 drives in two masters attached to old
Quantum PX502 libraries and we use different drivers for both. On Windows 2003
we use HP driver 1.0.4.0 and in Windows 2008 we use Microsoft driver
6.0.6001.18000
Here is a screenshot (Windows 2008) of the two drives:

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.
