Been asked to setup a powervault TL2000 but can i get it to work!??! Grrr Any help appreciated
Details are:
The unit is a few years old - it was attached to a legacy linux server but noone knew how it worked after the "guru" left. So it was factory reset and attached to windows. It has 23 used tapes in it
OS is WIn 2008 R2 64 std running on a Poweredge 2950 - backup software is Acronis 11.5 with tape mgmt
Qlogic SCSI fibre card - QLE2360
TL2000 (Removed by moderator)
I am using Qconverge and the fibre card seems installed ok. I can also see the tape drive attached as a "IBM ULT3580-TD4"
In device mgr Windows is showing a tape drive with "IBM ULT3580-TD4 SCSI Sequential Device" - the driver is Microsoft 21/06/2006 ver 6.1.7600.16385
fcinfo /detials shows the qlogic card
Acronis reports no tapes are available in any of the pools (i have seen a tape in it once)
Main issues i see are:
i cant see it is ISCSI initiator - the only target is the network IP address
i have googled and found a screenshot with a "medium changer device" - we dont have that?
only error i can find - C:\Windows\SysWOW64>fcinfo /ports
com.qlogic-QLE2460-0, num: 2
