HP Autoloader & Drive not showing up

Post by rauer »

A hello to all of you!

My name is Rafael, i am an it consultant from Austria.

I went from version 6.5 to 7.0 because of one main reason:
The tape support (To get rid of the BUE on the Backup Server)

We use a 1/8 G2 LTO-3 Ultrium 920 Tape Autoloader.
Nothing shows up in Veeam.

As i searched for on the veeam web site, You should see the drive, as it is shown in the device manager of the host.

Does anybody already have any experiences on that?

This was an upgrade from 6.5 to 7.0, not a new installation!

Kind regards, Rafael

Maybe another backup program that is locking the tape unit.
I had the same, and for me the solution was to stop the backup exec services.

Also, please reviewed the Tape System Requirements section in the Release Notes documents to make sure you've met all the requirements.

OK, that did the trick!

Now i need to find a solution to be able to use both programs at once.

I don't need the Backup Exec to handle the tapes any more.
BUT i need it for Enterprise vault backup.
So it should still be usable.

Should i go to a BUE forum with that?

You can put the drive we use on the list. This one works with it!

Yep, I believe that the questions regarding usage of Backup Exec are just outside the actual scope of this forum. :) Thanks.

Thanks a lot. I don't expect such a fast answer on the "Yellow" website ;)

I assume that's a physical Enterprise vault ? I'm sure we've customers running it on vSphere ( with sucessful backups )
