You may try to install HPE library &amp;&nbsp;tape tools and make some test to confirm both drives are detected/operating properly. <br />

If all is OK then the best will be as @Andrew suggested to contact Veeam support so they can check the logs.

2 Ultium LTO6 standalone tape drives are connected via the HBA card separately to this backup server with Veeam Backup and replication version 9.5.

Device Manager - 2 HBA cards and 2 LTO6 Drives

IMG-20180221-WA0001.jpg

2 Ultium LTO6 standalone tape drives are connected via the HBA card separately to this backup server with Veeam Backup and replication version 9.5. This backup server is setup with MS Windows 2008 R2 64-bit. In Device Manager, both HBA cards and tape drives were detected with correct details. See the attached screenshot. However, in the Veeam console > backup infrastructure, I saw only 1 tape drive. Please see the 2nd attachment. Any thing gone wrong with the setup? How to get the second drive detected and use in veeam console?

Thanks in advance.

Why only 1 tape drive is detected in this veeam backup and replication console?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
