Thanks for the quick reply.
The PV-120t is not listed in the 271282 HCL but is listed in the 271383 HCL as both the Dell PV-120t and Sony TSL-11000. So the Autoloader is a compatible device I presume?
I have downloaded and applied the BackupExecTapeDeviceDriverInstall_273853.exe driver patch.
Following this the loader is still not seen by BE 9.1. There is however an entry in the W2K Application Log relating to this:
Event ID 58052
ADAMM configuration warning.
The device driver may not be installed for device :
Identifier : SONY TSL-11000 L2u3.
Type : MediumChangerPeripheral.

And the following:
Event ID 58053
Backup Exec Alert: Device Error
(Server: "WLSVR01") Storage device configuration error.
Problems were encountered during the configuration of your storage devices. Please use the NT Event Viewer to view the Application Log for more information.

Following the links suugests thst the driver is missing or incorrect and recommends using the Tapeinst.exe supplied with BE to fix the problem - it doesn't.
Looking at the ADAMM log shows that BE is seeing the loader but that it doesn't have a device name and serial number assosciated with it. Below is the ADAMM log and as can be seen the Tape Drive and Loader are seen at SCSI id 2 LUN 0 & 1, but a device name and serial number are not present for the loader

Are the missing device name and serial number significant? if so how can I fix them?
Finally I have searched for a driver for the loader on both Dell and Sony sites to no avail - any suggestions please?
Thanks
