Hi,

I am trying to add another tape drive (HP Ultrium Surestore 215) to Backup Exec. The drive is viewable and enabled in Removable Storage snapin and I have installed the right drivers, but I cannot 'see' it to backup to it, for example, if I go through 'Device configuration' I can add the drivers but I never get to see the drive to add it to a pool, etc. I am using BackupExec 8.5 on Win2000 Server and it is attached by SCSI. The existing tape drive (A Dell DLT 100 Powervault) is viewable and is SCSI attached (on same port, and daisychained via the HP).

Any idea why I can't add the HP drive? Thanks in advance.
