Donald,
Do you have the latest tape configuration files on your NetApp?
Run a "storage show tape supported" on the filer and check. I ran a quick check
on mine and don't see any LTO5 drives listed as supported (OnTap 7.3.1.1).
Check NOW for updated "tape_config" files. (NOW seems to be
broken for me right now.) You can copy the new tape_config files onto the filer
and it should pick them up. You may have to rescan your tape buses to recognize
them.

I have some new LTO5 drives and 2 of 4 of my netapps won't show the drive
serial numbers. I have checked switch ports, os levels, hba model and
firmware. They are all exactly the same. I am connected to a brocade switch
and have the drives zoned properly. The netapps see the drives but if I run
storage show tape on the nas it has a generic serial number instead of the
serial number of the drive. This is preventing me adding these new drives.
Has anyone seen this?
