Re: Native NW drivers for FC attached MSL
wiegandb
you do not need Netware-drivers to be loaded but you have to do a scan
for devices after you have loaded LTT (menu entries 1 or 2 try both of
them). You should get a numbered list with the MSL, the
FC-storage-router and the tape drives.
The handling with LTT is quite a bit strange. You will often have to
press the "h" key for getting to know what to do next.
Thats what i know from my memory.
Regards and good luck

That actually looks like a potential issue *because* nwtape was loaded
once. You'll likely have to reboot the server, and make sure nwtape
*never* loads. Unloading it isn't sufficient.
You shouldn't need a driver. LTT works at RAW device level.

i saw this posting of yours (?) in the hp-it-forum and you can see that
the drives have different firmware versions (G65 and G24). Have you
tried what happened when you run ltt with only one drive connected to
the tape-storage-router because i remember that we had a similar issue
where ltt was not able because of the old firmware to detect some
devices. What version of ltt and what firmware-bundle did you download?
Do you have any older versions of ltt software and firmware to update
the drive from G24 to G65 first before doing the rest?
