I have a SAS LTO4 1/8 HP autoloader attached to a X1800 using BE 12.5. Everything runs fine for me and I get approx. 4,000 MB/min. I just set it up the other day so I haven't had time to look into the snapshot features on the hp x1000 series NAS devices though so I can not comment on if/how the snapshots can be leveraged for backup.

I am fighting a issue with the X1600 and the Autoloader - HP 1/8 G2 Ultrium LTO-4 1760
It worked fine in the lab but in production it will only see the tape drive and not the autoloader.
here is what is shows in the Adamm.log file

I have tried many fixes listed in the forums here and the changer still shows offline
the server os is Windows Storage Server 2008 and they have removed the Removable Storage from the Services
this is the last item i tried :
