I have a question regarding how to get VTL free working. The goal is to get Backup Exec to think there are a physical tape drive present.
The setup is as follows:
WMWare Workstation player 15.1.0
Windows Server 2016 Standard Evaluation 1607 14393.3181
Backup Exec Server Trial 20.4 rev 1188
StarWind Virtual SAN v8 b13182_R9 (with a StarWind_Virtual_Tape_Library_Free_License_Key.swk)
Because the free license only permits configuration via powershell the things I have tried is from the webpage
http://get-cmd.com/?p=5249. Those commands work and I can connect and so forth so then I tried different powershell scripts from StarWind Software\StarWind\StarWindX\Samples\powershell folder but here is where it goes south.
For example:
CreateVirtualTapeLibrary.ps1 -> ends with "Method invocation failed because [System.__ComObject] does not contain a method named 'CreateTape'."
AddVirtualTape.ps1 -> Device 'VTL1' not found
RemoveVirtualTape.ps1 -> Removing tape...Method invocation failed because [System.__ComObject] does not contain a method named 'RemoveTape'.
After trying a few scripts I have somehow managed to create some sort of VTL (according to the console), but it shows as "vtl1 (Not licenced)"
So my question is. What to do next?
