Installing Tape Device Drivers on 32 Bit Servers
▼ To use the Device Driver Installer wizard
This wizard (located on the NetBackup CD) guides you through the installation of the
latest device drivers.
1. Log in as Administrator on the server where you installed NetBackup.
2. Insert the NetBackup CD-ROM in the drive.
On Windows systems with AutoPlay enabled for CD-ROM drives, the NetBackup
installation browser starts automatically.
On Windows systems that have AutoPlay for CD-ROM drives disabled, run
Launch.exe from the top-level directory on the CD-ROM.
3. In the VERITAS CD Browser, click Additional Products > Additional Product
Installations > NetBackup Tape Device Drivers.
The Device Driver Installer wizard starts.
4. Follow the prompts in the wizard to install device drivers for your storage device.
On the Choosing tape drivers screen of the wizard, select Use VERITAS tape drivers
for all tape devices and Use Plug and Play drivers.
Use the More Information button for explanations of the available choices.
5. On the Installing VERITAS drivers screen of the wizard, a warning message may be
displayed when the device drivers are installed indicating that the driver has not been
Windows Logo tested to verify its compatibility with Windows.
This is a standard Microsoft Windows warning. System and driver performance will
not be affected, and you can safely ignore the messages. VERITAS device drivers go
through a similar testing process and they are digitally signed drivers.
6. At the completion of the wizard, be sure to reboot your system.
The drivers are installed in the following Windows directory.
C:\WINNT\system32\drivers
▼ To determine the version of a device driver
The drivers are installed in the following Windows directory:
C:\WINNT\system32\drivers
The device driver files do not have a version number. To determine the version of a device
driver file, use the Modified date found in the file Properties dialog (right click on the
driver file name).
