To use 2 hosts and have 3 drives on each you have to partition the library and create 2 logical libraries. You put the 3 drives in each and set a control path for each partition. The control path allows the host to communicate with the library via it's interface scsi or sas.
Hi, Our ML6000 is not being detected by a new Windows Server 2012 host. It is not found in device manager. However, the 3 SAS LTO 5 drives in it are detected properly.  It used to be connected solely to a Windows 2003 R2 Server and is detected without issues. While connected to the 2003 Server, it originally had 3 SCSI LTO 3 drives. For testing and comparison, we placed ALL 6 drives back into the library and connected the 3 SCSI to the 2003 R2 Server and the 3 SAS drives to the 2012 Server. Still, the Library is not detected on the 2012. It is detected by the 2003 machine. Both hosts can access the GUI console of the library. The only difference I can think of between the 2 servers is that the 2012 server does not have a SCSI card, so there are no SCSI cables going into it. But I would assume the SCSI connections are just for detecting the drives and not the library itself  What did we miss? What type of connection should the library have to the 2012 server to have it detected in device manager?    Thanks in advance for your help.
