Data Protector not adding IBM LTO-7 Drives

Hello,

I have HPE Data Protector Version 7.03 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Std

The Cell Manager has already a fujitsu library connected. Now we are trying to add a new library to one of the clients. The client is an Oracle Linux 6.2 and the new device is an IBM TS3200 library with 2 LTO-7 drives

We tried to autoconfigure the new library but the drives could not be added. After adding the variable OB2CHANGERELEMENTPARSER=0 on the omnirc file of the linux media agent we managed to add the new library with the two drives.

The problem is that the new drives are shown as "tape devices" and the library has as default media type "tape" and not "LTO Ultrium"

If we manually configure the library with LTO Ultrium as default media type, then when we try to add the drives we get the error "159:13043 No data devices detected"

(Please see attached screenshots for manual and auto configuration)

 

This is the output of the devbra -dev commnad on linux media server:

Can someone help?

Thank you.
