OK, thanks guys. I'll bear that in mind.

Thanks Anatoly, but this is a production system and can't risk running beta code. We'll just have to leave it for now.

Hi Anatoly,
I tried that and then I could successfully connect to the host, but the tape drive was not visible when I tried to add a device.

Hi, Here are the StarWindTapeRedirector ports: TCP 10.164.80.109:33268 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING [StarWindTapeRedirector.exe] TCP 127.0.0.1:33268 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING [StarWindTapeRedirector.exe] TCP 0.0.0.0:33269 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING [StarWindTapeRedirector.exe] UDP 0.0.0.0:33270 *:* [StarWindTapeRedirecto...

Hi, I thought you'd just like to see the error that appears on login to the Hyper-V console. Not sure if it's relevant: http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb8/acippico/Screenshots/StarWindOLEDLGDLLmissing.png Here is the StarWind service running: http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb8/acippico/Scree...

Thanks. So I installed TapeRedirector on one of the VMs and launched the Management Console, but I can't connect to the Hyper-V host itself. The service is definitely running on the host (10.164.80.109). Also, how do apply the license key in Hyper-V? There's no GUI to do that either. http://i205.pho...

Hi Anton,
So I installed TapeRedirector on my Hyper-V 2012 R2 and the service has started. The trouble is, I can't configure it using the Management Console because it's pure Hyper-V, i.e. no GUI. Therefore, how can I configure it to share its tape drive?

Anton, that's great news - thank you!!!!!

Thanks Anton. Does your reply mean not yet'?
If so, when do think it will be available?

I have a Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 host with a SAS-attached LTO6, and I'd like to run Backup Exec on one of the VMs. Can Tape Redirector provide the interface between Backup Exec and the LTO drive?
