TL2000 with Hyper-V 2016

[chrisit]

Hi!

I've got a TL2000 that I'm trying to test with the Tape Redirector. When I try and add the drives as a device they only show up in the "Physical Tape" option, not in the "Physical Tape Auto-Loader/Changer" option. This allows me to add them into Backup Exec on the VM but they obviously don't have the features they should - i.e like showing all the slots etc.

Is there something i'm missing to be able to add the library rather than individual drives, should I install drivers on the host or something?

running Hyper-V Server 2016
Dell TlL2000
VM - Server 2016 Standard with Backup Exec 16



thanks!

Chris

Seemed to have answered my own question. Installed the library drivers on the host and now shows up as expected in both Starwind setup and Backup Exec.

Hi chrisit,
Correct, you should install the library drivers firstly
