I have recently received a Quantum Scalar i40 tape library and I’m trying to get it to work with Netbackup 7.5. I have connected the tape library to a media server (Redhat Linux) via a SAS cable and I can see a tape drive, but I am unable to see the library (tape changer). I have searched for a device driver, but can only find one for Windows. Does anyone have any ideas about what I need to do to get this to work?

no driver required. NetBackup controls robot thru sg driver that is bundled in RHEL.
Just proceed Device Configuration Wizard.

Confirm that devices can be seen at OS level with:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Also see the Linux chapter in NBU Device Config Guide: http://www.symantec.com/docs/DOC5186

Hi,
Many thanks, I have sorted it. I had two tape drives and it appears that I had to connect the first tape drive in order for the system to see the library changer.
