Replacement of drives and drive status are 2 separate subjects. Your latest question should have been in a new discussion. To expand on revaroo's advice : After you have deleted the tape drives that were removed, check Windows Device manager that new drives are seen and that vendor drivers are installed. Check from cmd in volmgr\bin folder with 'scan ' command that drives are seen and respond to scsi_commands. If drive info is displayed here, you can go ahead and run NBU Device Config wizard to add the new drives. Once done, confirm that drive density matches Storage Unit and media density.
