Hi,
I downloaded installed and configured.
I can setup the HP LTO 5 tape drive and my VM can connect.
When i try to setup the autoloader it finds the autoloader but cant find the drive in the next selection

HI Nothing else is using the Tape.
I eventually got it working by editing the config file.
Added the Tape Drive to one target
And adding the Loader to a additional Target.

Good news! We'll check why we cannot do it in automatic mode. BTW, does your tape backup application recognize "redirected" tape drive + changer and work with it w/o issues?
