Completing the installation
1.
If necessary, install the tape drivers.
If you installed tape drivers before
connecting the tape drive (Windows
only)
The tape drive should be detected
automatically and the correct drivers used.
If the Windows Found New Hardware
wizard runs, cancel it and then use Device
Manager to verify that the driver is
installed.
If tape drivers are not installed
(Windows only)
If you have not already installed drivers,
the Windows Found New Hardware
wizard will run when you power on the
server and tape drive. Follow the
on-screen instructions to search for the
required driver on the server. If necessary,
download the driver from the support
website:
http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc
If tape drivers are not installed (other
operating systems)
Drivers are included with the operating
system and should be loaded
automatically. To upgrade drivers, Hewlett
Packard Enterprise recommends
upgrading to the latest version of the
operating system.
NOTE:
Certain backup applications
require their own Tape driver instead of
the Tape driver included with the
operating system.
2.
Install Library & Tape Tools (L&TT) and then
use it to verify that the tape drive installation
was successful.
L&TT is designed to diagnose any issues when
using tape drives. Use it to confirm that the
tape drive is installed and functioning correctly
before you use the tape drive for backup. L&TT
is available without charge at:
http://www.hpe.com/support/tapetools
3.
Download and install any operating system
upgrades necessary for the backup application.
4.
Conduct a backup and restore test to verify
that the drive can write data to tape. Use a
blank cartridge.
For operating systems that contain a native
backup application that supports tape devices,
you can use the native backup application to
test basic tape drive operation. Native backup
applications do not support all of the advanced
features of the tape drive so you will need to
test the advanced features with your backup
application. When testing with a third-party
application, upgrade the application before
running this test.
5.
LTO-5 and later generation drives: If the server
is using StoreOpen with LTFS, verify that the
server has the latest LTFS software. If
necessary, download the latest version at:
http://www.hpe.com/storage/StoreOpen

error
