unable to select and add drives of Quantum tape library
Hello,
Recently I have installed a new Quantum Scalar i3 tape library with one robot, 3 drives, and 50 slots, I have attached the library configuration images, the problem is when I want to "Define New Storage Devices", Netbackup finds the robot and the drives under it but I am unable to select them and I get this error :
The following robot(s) are enabled but do not have enabled drives configured.
I have tried different drive topology connections (loop preferred, point to point, loop, and point preferred ).
I agree with Tousif Please ensure both the changer and drives are visible in the OS before trying any Netbackup configuration.
What I think happened to you, is robot is visible from OS, but not the drives, you can't select tape drives the OS can't see.
Depending on OS, there are low level fibre channel tools from the HBA vendors, that will allow you to list what the FC HBA can see. If the HBA can't see the tape drives, not will the OS be able to do.
