does anyone know if this problem exists with Backup Exec 2014?

after 2 plus years I have found a solution. On your server with Backup Exec create a file called "BUE2012_Bring_Drive_Online.ps1" in "C:\Program Files\Symantec" - a PowerShell file write the following PowerShell script in the file: # cmdlet for bringing a tape drive back on-line....

Anton, understood - no paid license required whilst in beta. the other question I asked - please confirm that the file StarWindBeta.exe V8 file contains the Tape Redirector functionality? I want to make sure I install the correct software (I assume I need to uninstall Tape Director that is installed...

Anton,

sorry to ask what will likely be a stupid question - but this StarWindBeta.exe V8 file also includes the Tape Redirector functionality - but it will need to be a paid licensed going forward?

thanks

hi,

i will re-start the service tonight and send you the logs tomorrow.

thank-you for your help.

to clarify - this only happens whena tape is ejected and a new tape is put in

i have seen this in the log on the server:

11/20 6:00:08.861 1a30 Tgt: iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:hypserver1.guideclothing.local-lto5: LUN 0 * UNIT ATTENTION (0x28, 0x0)

does it mean anything to you

i am using the MS iScsi Initiator on the VM that is connecting to the tape drive

i am not sure what else there was i should try.

I did not have this problem when the Backup Exec was installed on the host.

have i missed anything else that i should try?

its a really great product

thanks
