Exabyte Packetloader VXA-3

Does this device work with BE 9.1? I've installed sp5 and the latest drivers I can find. BE sees the device, but I get an error message when I try and run an inventory.

BE 9.1 does not support the VXA-172 or VXA-320 drives natively. You need to use the VXA Tool from Exabyte's website to change the inquiry string on the drive so it reports as a VXA-2 or just upgrade to 10.x.

If you go the route of emulation, technically, Veritas / Symantec won't support you.

Either way, you should get that tool from the Exabyte and update the drive firmware.
