Starwind VTL and 2008R2

trevor-austin · Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:01 pm

I have followed the documentation to trial the VTL capability and have attached to the iscsi connection.

In 2008R2 this then gives an 'other' device with the correct name but a blue question mark and is not seeing it as a tape drive. If I scan for tape drives with DPM it cannot see this device either.

Any help appreciated as this is to go into a live environment and replace firestreamer which is not working if it works.

Thanks

Trevor

That appears to have sorted it thanks

DPM is now seeing the device and I have followed your PDF on DPM adding and using tape drives.

I inventoried the drive, then identified it then cleaned it and got the warnings but nothing actually appears to be happening? This is with DPM 2010?

Just a little udate for the community: we had a conversation with Trevor. currently he promissed to get back to me if he`ll have any questions and we agreed that this is something with DPM.
