Question

how to configure actul IBM tape library on veeam backup server


Forum|alt.badge.img

Actually, the IBM tape library is physically connected to Veeam backup server in our environment, but when i configure tape library through Veeam server console, what i enter the server details means IP or hostname.

because Veeam backup server and tape library IP is different, so what should be enter for tape library configuration.

i did the backup server IP then drive is not reflected in Veeam console, but i checked computer management the tape drive is available on device manager.

 

what is the issue, please suggest.

Hi @Keshav Sawant -

You need to connect a tape server to the Veeam Backup Server. Please read more about how to connect Tape Libraries to the Veeam Server in the Veeam User Guide:

What model is it? if it’s a larger one you might have to create a Virtual Tape Library and assign it to the Veeam server, then assign tapes and drives to the VTL.
