TS3200 Veeam 7 on Windows 2012 R2

[edocom]

Hi, I attached my TS3200 Tapelibrary to my Windows 2012 R2 Backupserver via SAS.
I installed the IBM Driver for the Device and I can see in the Device Manager my IBM Ultrium 5 HH Tape Drive, but i cant see any Library in the Device Manger, is that right?

And the Problem is, if i starts backup to Tape, Veeam say me:

Insert a valid tape into the library, oldest retained....

TS3200 is a Tapelibrary, they must Change the Tapes automaticly, but they dont do that
And in the Webconsole of the Library, i see Library is Ready and also the Drive is Ready.

and now, im not sure if the ibm Driver for Windows 2012 also works right on Windows 2012 R2. Or is this another Issue?

Can anyone help me? and sorry for my english.

In order for VB&R to work properly with tape library both tape drives and medium changer should be shown correctly in Device Manager. So, make sure you have both of them reflected correctly there. Also, are using non-exclusive or exclusive drivers ? In the latter case, kindly, reinstall the drivers with non-exclusive version. Thanks.

hi, i have use the non-exclusive Version! i think is a Driver issue, and the ibm Windows 2012 Driver dont Support R2

We can't comment on other vendors' drivers compatibility, so, you'd better confirm with the Dell representatives. Thanks.

Not that is any real help but I'd like to inform you that in our case our IBM TS3500 libraries works well when running Veeam v7 on Windows Server 2012 but not at all reliable on Windows Server 2012 R2 so we still run non R2 for the Veeam servers with tape libraries for just that reason.
