Dell ML3 tape lib, second drive added

[MSc]

Our customer has added a second tape drive which now shows up as "stand alone" and is listed as a second library?!
First drive ist TYPE "automated", second drive shows "StandaloneDrive"

Both drives are SAS-attached in the same Tape server, each drive has it's own SAS card, both drives are identical IBM ULT3580-HH8 (half height)
The ML3 could have up to three of those. https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all- ... _de-de.pdf

Is there a way to add the second drive into the sole DELL ML3 library? So two drives show up under it?

This is the way to do it... contacted Veeam support and got the KB1842

A reg. key needs to be added on the phys. backup server where the tape drives are connected to.

Key: HKLM -> Software -> Veeam -> Veeam Backup and Replication
Name: TapeDevices
Type: REG_MULTI_SZ
Data:
Name_of_VeeamTapeServer
Changer0=Tape0:0,Tape1:1

Now both drives are shown under the TapeLib.

Hi Martin,

Glad that you've fixed the issue. Mind me asking what Veeam B&R version your customer is using? Thanks!
