Make sure the new drives are not zoned out in the SAN for the old
media servers. If you are using zoning it may be that the servers that
cannot see the drives are not in the same zone as the new drives.

Thank you for your help...

All the new 7 san media server can see the new 3 tape drives via OS and if
you use sgscan and vmoprcmd also can see the drives, but via Netbackup device
configurationwizard you can not.

What happens if you try to add the new drives manually to those
servers?

Hello Adrian the first thing that you have to do is to check if the media
servers recognize the drives with the cfgad -al command, if the media servers
are unix.

rogelio

this is quite a challenge to make work, i would strongly advise going through
the device manager and SSO manuals and the troubleshooting guide.They go
through
this in great detail.

Simply put; _all_ media servers need installed licenses, need to be correctly
zoned (or at least SAN viewable), and configured.

Right at the end of the chain, if sgscan cant see your WWNs of your drives,
then clearly netbackup wont be ale to see 'em, so follow the chain back (or
indeed start from the other end)

what does cfgadm -al show?

if the devs are connected/unconfigured then they need configuring; if they
arent even connected then follow the chain back to the SAN/zoning.

If its any comfort, I have five Solaris boxes sharing LTOII drives in an
STK robot and it works just fine.
