Good morning everyone!

Have Symantec Netbackup 7.6.0.1

Master server installed on VM (Win Server 2008 R2).

Media server installed on physical host (Win Server 2008 R2).

Quantum Dxi 6702 VTL connected to master/media server via SAN switch.

VTL is detected on media server's OS as HP LTO 5 25 tape drives (installed drivers from HP on media server).

when i run in symanted conguration storage device wizard its shows unconfigured quantum robot and when i finished the wizard and go to device ad robot it's seems not enable so that unable enventory that robot library.

Any ideas? What should I check first?

Try a Windows OS update to see if it pulls down new or updated drivers for the medium changer and/or tape drives. If any are installed, then reboot the server. Then try NetBackup Device Configuration Wizard again.

Back in the old days we used to configured robots and drives manually in NetBackup when the wizard didn't work........

The serial numbers listed in the robots are all listed as drives - so your problem is not an issue with tape drive serialization.

.

When I search the NetBackup mappings file on my test server:

J:\>findstr /i "[version" "D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\var\global\device_mappings.txt"
[VERSION:1.124]
J:\>findstr /i "changer.*quantum" "D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\var\global\device_mappings.txt"

Maybe you need an updated mappings files, as per:

https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH162165.html

.

The HCL for Quantum:

http://origin-symwisedownload.symantec.com/resources/sites/SYMWISE/content/live/SOLUTIONS/76000/TECH76495/en_US/nbu_76_hcl.html#virtual_tape_libraries_drives-virtual_tape_libraries_drives_-_vendor_compatibility-quantum

...shows that the inquiry string should be "QUANTUM^DXi", and your "scan" output shows a inquiry response of "QUANTUM DXi6700         100A", which looks like it should partial match the beginning of the string - assuming "^" means a space.

.

What is your version of mappings file?

findstr /i "[version" "D:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\var\global\device_mappings.txt"

Your scan command shows 2 Quantum robots with 10 drives each and a bunch of IBM robots. Does that look right to you? You wrote that this is supposed to be one Robot with 25 drives in it, but it looks like thats not what is set up on the VTL
