I have used the Compaq MDR in a SAN setup and don't recall needing drivers for the backups. Compaq does have a utility that updates the firmware in their tape libraries and tape drives. I have used the MDR in both a Winnt and W2K environment. What type of problem are you having?
The problem is that Win2K Server (SP2 intalled) asks for the MDR driver when I boot the server (Win 2K found new hardware ....). My tape library (5026) worked fine until I had to reboot that server (due to maintenance reasons). Now Veritas does not see any one of the 2 SDLT drives.
Does the 5026 library have 2 - 13 slot magazines? Have you loaded the SDLT drivers from the manufacture of the drive? Quantum I believe makes the SDLT. I know you have to load a driver for the individual tape drives. If you have not done so, I would recommend doing this. Check with Compaq/HP web site for the driver for the MDR if one exists. Keep me posted. Thx
