Netbackup tape drive issue
Hi
I have a netbackup master at 8.1 , OS win 2012 R2. master n media server are same.
there was a LTO5 tape drive connected to it, local site guys replaced it with help of a vendor. Now we have HP autoloaded tape library + LTO7 tape drive attached. Hp tape library and tape drive are visible to OS (checked on device management) but not visible to Netbackup. So after configuration tape robot visible on NBU GUI but not tape drive .
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Volmgr\bin>scan

do check attached file as well.
The tape drive is showing up with a question mark (?) as 'other devices'.
This means that no driver is installed.
Look on HP web site for LTO7 tape driver for your OS.
