Hello,
I'm am trying your new version of starwind for a new client. We had success in the past using version 3.5 to pass a tape library (real) and tape drives on Windows 2008 server. That works flawlessly.
I'm now repeating the process with a similar setup. The only difference this time is the new version 5.2 of starwind (30-demo version). Still using a Windows 2008 server.
When adding a device, in this case a Storagetech SL500 with latest Sun drivers, the device does not appear at all. When I select a target under Optical Drive, or any other for that matter, it will not list the tape library at all.
I got a bit curious and loaded up the demo version of 3.5. It was able to add this device as an SPTI, calling it a changer.
Why is the tape library invisible with your new version but visible and accessible with an old one?
Of course I could be doing it wrong too. If this works it looks like we may be ordering a few enterprise versions. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Frank
