Quantum i80 IBM LTO6 on BackupExec 2014 missing drive

Hello I have a Quantum i80 device with 2 IBM UKTRIUM-HH6 LTO6 drives that I have updated the firmware on as Quantum has said.  It is shown that the drives will work with Backupexec 2014 once I update the firmware.  I have the drives attached by FC though a FC switch to the blade that is running the server.  This is a brand new install.  New 2012 R2 server and new tape library. 

 

I can see the Library in Backupexec with the two drives but one drive is always saying "missing device"  I have tried reboots and rediscovery a bunch of times but it still just says missing device.  Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Also the two tape drives appear to be configured differently - one is configured using LUNs and the other using a different SCSI Prt, you might want to look into this configuration and adjust so that both are using LUNs

     

     

  • Do you have 2 FC cables running to each tape drives (for a total of four FC cables for the library)?

    That might explain why you are seeing double entries in Windows Device manager.  Only having one cable to each tape drive is probably the best way to start troubleshooting and isolating issues.

     

                         Drives                  2

                         Drive Element 0         1035, "IBM     ULTRIUM-HH6     C38D4D4000"
                         Drive Element 1         1044, "MISSING DEVICE

     

    This shows that the library thinks that it has two tape drives, but BE can only see one of them. That is the Tape0 in your adamm.log.  You should also be seeing a Tape1 listed in the adamm.log.

  • Please have a Sequential Power Cycle performed.

    If the drive still shows as Missing Drive, please attach the ADAMM log here if possible.

    The location would be C:\Program Files\Symantec\Backup Exec\Logs\ADAMM.log

     

  • There is something wrong in the way your library is configured. It is appearing twice in your screenshot and it probably has Quantum driver. BE expects it to only appear once as an Unknown Medium Change with a Microsoft driver. You should consult your vendor as to how tm to configure it as such
  • That did not seem to work.  I uninstalled the LEO and it removed the second drive then re added it.  The second drive came back but the same error. 

  • ...remove the LEO license and re-add it.

    If it worked with a previous version, and all you did was a clean installation then zoning isn't the issue.

    Thanks!

  • I am not sure what you mean by the FC zoneing.  But windows sees the deivces and I have the Library Exansion Option installed. Maybe its the control path?

  • Did you configure the fibre channel zoning correctly ?

    Are the two drives visable in windows device manager ?

    Do you have a LEO (Library Extension Option) installed ?
