Tape Lib connectivity to VM

$

Hi Everyone

 

Hope this is the right section to post in - looks ok to me.

 

I am trying to setup a HP Data Protector 6.20 Cell Mgr on a VM. The VM sits on an ESXi 5.0 farm. Running 2008 R2.

 

I have got the SAN guys to zone the 2 tape drives to the physical hosting severs for the VM farm so I can then map the drives into the VM running the cell mgr. I am told that this tape library (HP StorageWorks MSL4048 2 Drive LTO4 FC 4gb library) does not have a medium exhanger/robotics component to zone - aparently this comes down with Tape Drive 1 and this allows control of the tape library.

 

I can see the tape drives OK, my issue is I cannot see any of the Robotics or Medium Exchanger for the library. I am told that the robots should come down the same path as the first tape drive - but I can't see it.

 

Has anybody experienced this issue or tried doing this with a VM based HP Data Protector Cell mgr and a HP StorageWorks MSL4048 2 Drive LTO4 FC 4gb library?

 

Many Thanks

 

Ryan
