I created the \\.\Changer0 and can show the Medium Changer at client. But it cannot initialized at window's Device Manager.
Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)

Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

And the tape device not present. Please advices.

Use \\.\Tape%d instead of \\.\Changer%d.

Hi Anton,
Thanks for your reply. It seems cannot detect the tape drive (IBM UTL3580-TD SCSI Sequential Device) that is in a tape library. At primary server, they are working fine.

OK, getting closer, at least we know for sure device symbolic link does exist :)

Error 32 is "sharing violation". You have some other running process claimed tape drive. And we cannot re-open the tape for our exclusive use. That's the point :) Find this process and we're done!
