Hello, <br />
we have an MSL4048 tape library with two drives in it, we had to replace the library, keeping the old drives, power supply and controller.<br />
now our windows server doesn't see the new tape library in device manager/ <br />
<br />
the two drives connect via a fiber cable to a brocade 4gb SAN switch. <br />
could it be that we have to make any changes to the SAN switch ? <br />
as all wiring was kept intact.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

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.
