Thanks for the input. &nbsp;I have tried the &quot;xen-tools&quot; installation and that worked, as Windows now sees the card. &nbsp;Unfortunately, Backup Exec does not see the tape device connected to the card, so I may try the specific drivers mentioned by Mutawadi tomorrow.<br />
<br />
And sorry for forgetting to mention that I'm trying to run Backup Exec 2010 R2 on the Citrix XenServer, which is why I need it to see the tape drive.

I'm going to call this solved, as installing the xen-tools did resolve the issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 recognizing the SAS/5E card. &nbsp;It now sees it as Citrix PV SCSI Host Adapter

Am going crazy trying to install the Dell SAS/5E drivers in my new Windows 2008 R2 VM. Running XenServer 5.6. &nbsp;<br />

Any ideas? &nbsp;Is this even possible?<br />

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
