But my question is what installation driver is recomended for BE 2012 if i use IBM ultrium LTO6 tape drive - install_nonexclusive or install_exclusive ?
In ibm installation procedures is written:
5. For driver packages before v6.1.8.9, double-click install.exe in the driver
package.
For all subsequent levels, double-click either install_exclusive.exe or
install_nonexclusive.exe.
v install_exclusive.exe The driver issues automatic reserves on open. It also
prevents multiple open handles from the host to a drive from existing at the
same time, as is required by applications such as Tivoli Storage Manager.
This driver is also required for the failover feature to work.
v install_nonexclusive.exe The driver permits open handles from the host to a
drive to exist at the same time, as is required by applications such as
Microsoft Removable Storage Manager (RSM) or Microsoft Data Protection
Manager (DPM).
Note: Review with your software application vendor the supported or required
driver installation and configuration.
Now I have installed Microsoft driver from W2012 system (and it works) but i think backup will be faster if i install ibm driver.
