Networker can not see new CDL 4100
I have a NetWorker server that is currently attached to IBM 3584 tape library. I needed to attach it to CDL 4100 which is also emulating IBM 3584, when everything was completed and i actually saw new tape drives and changer in device manager i could not get NetWorker to recognize the library. When i run inquire i get this:
\\.\Tape6 and \\.\Tape5 are the physical library, while the other 044C drives are from CDL. I am guessing this is the problem and they should show up just like the physical drives. Any ideas what i could try next ?

Also, what version of NW is that? inquire output looks like pre-7.3.x version. I shortly had tested 7.2.2 with CDL under HPUX and it worked, but with 7.3.x drivers were recognized by inquire as Virtual Drives and officially support was virtual drives was added somewhere in 7.3.x so we went on with that version.

before we get into details let me tell you what we are trying to do. Let me know if its doable, forget my original post
We have purchased a storage node license ( i think that what its called), right now we have a networker server 7.x .. we want to setup another system that will be configured as storage client, i will present CDL lirary to this node and then register this node within Networker. My altimate goal is to run backup on the storage node while all the metadata/schedules etc is stored on the Networker server. Do you have exprience with this kind of setup ? As you probably guessed i am not a networker admin but i am responsible for backup infrastructure.
