DPM 2012 R2 Server 2012 R2 Dell TL4000 Tape Library
Posted: Fri Dec 18, 2015 3:48 pm
I have a Hyper-V host running Server 2012 R2 that directly connects to the Dell TL4000 tape Library via a SAS HBA card. The Library has two tape drives, both of which show up in device manager on the host machine. I have updated drivers / firmware.
I would like to share via iSCSI the tape library to a Hyper-V Virtual Machine hosted on the above machine. The Virtual Machine also runs Server 2012 R2 and DPM 2012 R2.
I created a target that has both drives and a control device. I attached them on the VM via iSCSI Initiator and they show up both in Device manager and DPM. But they only show up as 1 tape, specifically the cleaning tape. I can not inventory the whole library. I tried adding the devices as a Tape drive/autoloader but they are not listed in Starwind mgmt console. Any ideas?
