SAN server could not see tape autocharger

Question

There is a new server with MS Standard Server 2003 sp1 OS installed, PowerPath, HBA etc. On control panel-administrative tools - computer management - device manager the driver for ADIC Scalar 24 310A|Autochanger is not installed. The driver should be installed by itself. I was adviced to check connectivity between that SAN server and the ADIC autochanger. I am looking for a sort of ping for FC environment. I have DS-4700M 'Connectrix Manager basic addition' as SAN switch. Everything seems to be OK. I have old servers already installed by someone else, and they could see the autocharger. Where the problem is?

if you are running Emulux HBAs go into HBAnywhere utility or if you are running Qlogic go into Sansurfer utility. In either product you will see the changer/drives if it has been zoned to the host. Sansurfer has to be installed separately while HBAnywhere gets install with the driver at the same time. I had a Scalar i2000 and there not only did i have to zone it to the host, inside of library itself i have to present the robot and the drive to the host.

I do have emulex ie HBAanyware. Briefly, it gives the same result as for instance inquire -l for nerworker.The old server which works gives: let say \.\scsi0:0:4 two lUNs LUN 0 and LUN1, where First Adapater:1. LUN0 is IBM ULTRIX-TD3 with OS Device Name \.\UnknownDeviceType12. LUN 1 ADIC Scalar 24 with OS Device Name \.\Changer0Second Adapter:1. LUN0 is IBM ULTRIX-TD3 with OS Device Name \.\UnknownDeviceType1 The new server which has problems:First Adapater:No LUN but message LUN is not available when automap is disabledSecond Adapter:1. LUN0 is IBM ULTRIX-TD3 with OS Device Name \.\UnknownDeviceType0So in fact, there is some problem but where. zone for first and second server is nearly same, and I do not believe that the problem is with switch (fabrics).
