problem with backup exec 10d not seeing pv124t with new 160 scsi card
I recently replaced a scsi card on my pe2850 connected to pv124t from perc controller to scsi card 39160 ultra 160 scsi. After this change the back up exec would not recognize the tape drive and giving me this error “physical volume library robot not found” I did the device configuration wizard then restarted all services and still have the same error. The device manager sees the new ultra 160 card with no problem. Any suggestion out there?

What OS are you running?
If Windows 2008

NOTE: The PV124 VS160 has a known issue with Windows 2008 OS when connected to a controller card using StorPort drivers. The medium changer will not be seen in device manager, therefore the robot is not properly discovered or displayed. Therefore, this is an unsupported configuration, but as a workaround SCSIPort drivers may be used The user may also manually move media into the drive via the PV124T Remote Management Unit or Operator Control Panel, or connect the PV124T to a Windows 2003 Server. This is documented in Microsoft knowledge base article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967736.

only backup exec does not. you may need to run the diver pack again (tapeinst.exe)

you will need your version of 10d service pack.
