Hi,
I am (still) setting up my first VMware site and i am up to the point of getting backups going.
A bit of background: I have 3 physical servers that connect to an iSCSI SAN. All VMs are stored on the SAN and everything seems to be running fine.
I also have a Dell TL2000 tape library with an iSCSI card. I have a configured it into my VMware servers and they can see it OK.
At this point i was a little unsure what i should be doing so if i have gone the wrong path please tell me.
I then went into vCenter, selected the VM that will be running my backups and edited it's settings. I then selected to Add hardware, selected SCSI Device, and selected Tape IBM (The options where Tape IBM, CD/DVD TEAC and Unknown DP).
When i start the VM (Windows 2008R2) i can now see the tape drive as a device.
I then installed Backup Exec expecting it to detect it as a robotic library but it doesn't.
I can't seem to find any tech docs from Dell about setting the library up so i am a little stumped as to where to go from here.
Anyone have a solution or a step-by-step that i can follow?
Thanks to everyone.
Ian
