If this tape device is a Fibre Channel direct attached device on Windows 2003, please make sure the HBA driver is a StorPort driver by checking the HBA vendor's support web site. The device reset (LUN Reset) on Windows 2003 requires StorPort driver. Otherwise, the device may have to be rebooted to reset the reservation. If not rebooted, this device will not be accessible. If "RESETDrive" keyword for the update library command is set to NO, device reset will not be attempted.
