Tape Library have to be on the console system?

[namiko78]

I've got a tape library attached to a physical server with a transport role installed, but cannot see the tape library in infrastructure. If i have to move the console, and i have the database on a remote SQL box, is there much to setting up the console on the physical server, and can i have two running at once? Currently it's on a VM / proxy. I guess i'd need to move the cataloge also.

Thank you

Hi Steven, yes in the current version, but we have implemented support for remote tape libraries in v8. Thanks!

As a workaround, you can expose a device connected to physical machine via ISCSI protocol. Thanks.

Interesting approach. Thanks for the info. Can I have two consoles installed?

On one machine? No. On different machines? Yes. In this case there won't be aware of each other, though. Thanks.
