IBM LTO 2 Tape drive for Veritas 9.1

Hi to all
We are using Veritas 9.1, version 4691, with Win 2000 server for a long time.
Unfortunately we had to upgrade our broken DLT Tape to an IBM LTO Gen 2 (200-400) tape drive (both on SCSI card).
Is there any Veritas driver for this tape?
I tried to use DDI 273853 from Symantec support, but it still using the manufacture driver instead of the Veritas driver, therefore I assume the IBM tape is not listed on this DDI (the DDI is from 2005).
Is there any update DDI for 9.1?
I tried the BE 11.0 trial version and everything is working fine therefore it is not a tape problem.
Also, I tried to use BE 9.1 on win 2003 server, but got the same error:
“Invalid Physical Volume Library argument”
 
Thanks in advance for your help.

That is the last driver pack for v9.1
 
Have you tried loading the manufacture windows drivers?  If NTBackup can see and access the drive Backup Exec should be able to also

Thanks for your answer.

When I use the manufacture driver I got the error "Invalid Physical Volume Library argument".

Otherwise it won't recognize by the BE program nor by Windows.

Couldn’t find a newer driver at IBM, but I will check if there is newer driver at Tandberg site.

In win 2000 the NTBackup worked.

Will check tomorrow if it works in Win2003 too.

Thanks
