Hi to all!
We have BE 16 in test environment. Also we have an HP StoreOnce 6500 type library. In Device information - type showing good. But when we trying to add this in BE master - nothing added in dashboard. Disk storage was added fast and perfect!

Windows Server 2012 R2

Backup Exec` 16

There is no device called HPE StorageWorks D6500. Are you talking about the StoreEver MSL6480? Or the StoreOnce 6500? If the StoreOne, do you have the VTL license?

StoreOnce 6500 - sorry

VTL License included in Trial License i guess.

Library Extencion Option was enabled

I am assuming that you are attempting to use the StoreOnce 6500 as an FC VTL?

If so, the detection by BE should be automatic.  Since your Windows Device Manager screen shot appears to show that the OS can see the hardware, we need to see what BE can see.  Does the libraries or drives appear in the "Storage" tab of the BE GUI at all?  Can you post your adamm.log file?  That will so how hardware detection is working.

Based upon Windows Device manager, it appears that you have created two VTLs?

 

StoreOnce 6500  - this is disk storage, right? Than, how i need to attach this in BE console: like disk or type device? There is no manual for StoreOnce 6500 for BE in google...

YOU need to clarify what YOU want to do with YOUR 6500.

The StoreOnce 6500 is listed on the BE 16 HCL in 3 sections.  It is supported for CIFS shares, OST or FC VTL.  Which method are YOU attempting to use?

Our StoreOnce B6500 connected from lan.

Veeam have an option for StoreOnce in console.

OK, if you are using LAN (ethernet), then that eliminates the FC VTL option.

So you can still use it as a B2D target via CIFS shares or as a dedupe appliance using OST.  Both methods are supported and documented in the BE admin guide.  What are YOU trying to accomplish?  There are multiple ways to use these versatile devices, each with pros and cons.
