Hey Guys
Little Background: Existing backup server is Backup exec 2010 R3 and configured on B200 M3 blade in UCS 5108 chassis. We are moving away from from legacy backup system to Veeam and would like to preserve the ability to do tape restores using backup exec. So, I am trying to virtualize the backup exec server.
I am trying to connect Quantum scaler I40 to my ESXi 5.1 host connected via FC. I am not very good with drawing yet I have tried best to present my setup. There are 2 drives in Tape library HP and IBM. After zoning ESXi host with tape library, both tape drives show upon scanning HBA. However, HBA is showing one dead path and also the quantum library is not able to discover these drives.
