Hi all,
I've been trialling BExec 2014 and 2012 and have had exactly the same issue - all tape drives report as MISSING DEVICE in red, and are duplicated twice (10 drives as standalone, 10 MISSING under the robotic library).
I've managed to narrow this down to the use of Deduplication local storage. Here's my experience:
- Build 2014 server
- Added local dedupe (obviously, as i want to go to disk first)
- Setup AWS VTL
- Added VTL through iSCSI
- Added VTL through Storage in BExec
- Noticed all devices are missing and assumed it's due to "non supported" statements by both Amazon and Symantec
So...
- Rebuilt a clean 2008R2 server with BExec 2012
- Added VTL - works perfectly
- Added local storage (non-dedupe), restarted - all fine with VTL
- Added local dedupe, upon service restart, immediately I get 20 drives, 10 in the robotic library are all MISSING
Hence something the dedupe runs completely shafts this. Is it due to the credentials I'm using for dedupe? Some hook in from the dedupe engine in to BExec?
This seems an easy fix, and I'm surprised no one else has this (I've googled, perhaps poorly, and found nowt).
Any feedback would be appreciated as currently this makes BExec dead for our business as a PoC and I'll have to look at other vendors.
Cheers
