BE 11d + Win2K3 + Quantum SuperLoader 3 Robotic Library vs Standalone?

Hello,
My setup is : Dell PowerEdge 4600, Windows 2003 Server, Backup Exec 11d, and a new Quantum SuperLoader 3 LTO3 autoloader.

I have an Adaptec SCSI card w/ to channels, one is connected to the Quantum LTO3 drive and the other has our old Dell PVT-122 DLT vs80 library attached. In the device tab of BE 11d the library for the Dell PVT shows up under robotic libraries but the LTO3 shows up as a Standalone?

All drivers and firmware are up to date, but I'm at a loss as to how to get Veritas to recognize the Quantum LTO3 as a robotic library. I've ran the 'tapeinst.exe' utility a few times installing Veritas drivers for all drives and then rebooting accordingly.
Has anyone run into this?

Do I need to change the settings in the scsi configuration utility? The settings from BE are :
Quantum (Certrance) : port = 2
bus = 0
target ID = 5
LUN = 0

DellPVT122T : port = 3
bus = 0
target ID = 6
LUN = 1

If anybody has any thoughts on this, please post!

And one more thing for other people having this problem...also install the latest release of Symantec Device and Robotic Library Drivers (current release is 67, I think). It will update the device configuration list that BE uses to recognize devices.

hi all

we have a hp StorageWorks 1/8 autoloader. the error that we have is that Backup Exec can’t see the Autoloader; it can only see the tape drive, and it sees it as a Stand-alone unit instead of a Robotic Library.

can anyone please help me with this error that we have.

thanks
starwars.
