Using Novell 6.5 and BackupExec V 9.1

Need to change tape drive from an HP DAT drive to a Sony AIT4.
Both SCSI so should have been no problem.
BE does not see the AIT drive when changed.
SCSI controller sees it "Scan for devices" doesn't
On BE 8.5 there was no dynamic update of the drive list so you had to delete a folder on SYS:BACKUPEXEC called PM. There isn't one in Netware 6.5/9.1
What's the trick on this combination ??

In 9.1 there is the MM directory - you can try deleting it, then create a new one - be careful though as it will contain all your media history as well.

You may also want to download and install the latest tape drivers.

Just about right I guess


Loaded TSA18, TSA17 was already on there and it was seen and worked
