I have issue with tape library configuration.

Medium changer - library controller details are not shown, how to fix it.

Tape Drive 1 and 2 have issue, The Drive 1 in CV is actually DRIVE 2 in TL.
and The Drive 2 in CV is actually DRIVE 1 in TL.

Drive 1 is primary access point.

How to fix the Media changer - library controller address issue.
how to detect the drives in proper sequency.

Hello @CVAdmin 

If the Medium Changer is not showing in Device Manager, you would need to work with your OS\Storage Teams or Hardware Vendor to make it available at the OS level.

 

Thank you,

Media changer and the tapes are detected in the media server.

issue is the device is configured as drive 1 which is drive 2 in TL and Drive in CV in drive 1 in TL.

I have question doing deconfig, will it remove the backup on the tape. if no then i have plan to configure the TL again after deconfig.
