StarWind Tape Redirector
Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2019 11:00 pm
Hi All,
I am trying to figure out what to do here... even to the point of just getting started. So here is the situation. I have a physical server with Win2016 Server and a Hyper-V Win2016 Server. I am trying to get it so that the VM will have Backup Exec on it and will backup to the LTO6 Tape Drive attached to the physical server. I have the StarWind Tape Redirector and the Management Console installed on both the physical and the VM servers because I am just not getting it. I cannot get the Tape Drive to detect on the VM. I have looked at the diagrams that make no sense to me, nor to the configuration that I have. I don't know anything past the initial installs of the StarWind software.
While being on the physical server, I have made the tape drive a target. So it knows it's there, but from there I have no other clue.... documents talk about making storage pools and I am not sure what to do about that and which server I am supposed to configure the VM target\device. Sorry for the ignorance about this stuff.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
So, with that, please help me with this as I have no more clues.
Thanks!!
