Hi,
I face an issue with BE 2010 R3 and my drive IBM TS3100 ( 3573-TL - ult3580-HH5).
The drive is up to date firmware but backup EXEC doesn't recognize it as a LTO 5 Tape drive
So BackupExec can only backup about 1.4 To of data on my LTO5 tape.
Does anyone knows how to setup my drive as a LTO 5 one?
Thanks

The IBM TS3100 library has a barcode reader. Do you have placed barcode labels on the tapes, and are these labels for LTO5 tapes ?

...and you're sure that you're using the Symantec drivers for the device? Open up Device Manager and make sure that the drive lists Symantec as the driver provider.

You can add LTO5 tapes to your barcode rules. Just go to Tools --> Options ---> Barcode rules.
Make sure that you are specifying the barcode requirements for IBM tape library. Once LTO5 is added to the barcode rules, you should be able to see it in your tape drive properties.
