Lennart_T Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 What do you mean by "can't see" the tape library. On your first screen shot, Retrospect clearly can see the tape library (which is "busy"). Bad CSCI cables and/or terminators can be the cause of various problems. Old firmware on the SCSI cards, can too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samvenning Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I think I fixed the problem by removing and re-seating the SCSI cable. It was odd that Retrospect could see the LTO-4 drive but not the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the SCSI terminator was the culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
