We have an ADSM OS/2 Server Version 2.1 Level 15 installed on a PC Server 330.
We want to backup to a Quantum DLT 4500 library.
The ADSMSDI program recognizes the library and say's "ADSM supoort : YES".
ADSMSDI output :
** 2 Removable Sequential devices
Adap Id Lun VendorID Product ID Rev. ADSM support?
---- -- --- -------- ---------------- ---- ----------------
5 0 0 ARCHIVE Python 04106-XXX 703b YES, as TAPE50$
7 5 0 Quantum DLT4500 D474 YES, as TAPE75$
** 1 Removable Changer/Library device
Adap Id Lun VendorID Product ID Rev. ADSM support?
---- -- --- -------- ---------------- ---- ----------------
7 5 1 Quantum TZ Media Changer D474 YES, as AUTO75$
When we try to label a tape with dsmlabel we get the error message :
ANR9752E Could not access drive 'TAPE75$'. It may be in use by another
application..
When we try to define the library to the ADSM server we get :
ANS8000I Server command: 'def libr dlt4500 libtype=scsi device=AUTO75$'
ANR8418E DEFINE LIBRARY: An I/O error occurred while accessing library
DLT4500.
ANS8001I Return code 3.
We also tried to use a standalone Exabyte tape drive with this ADSM server
with the same result :
ADSMSDI says the tape is supported, but dsmlabel and define library fail.
(Backagain/2 did work with this exabyte drive !)
OS/2 is WARP server german with fixpak 36 :
OS/2 Warp 3 Service Level
Version 1.00 Komponenten-ID 566933010
Typ Fixpak
Aktueller CSD-Level: XRGW036
Voriger CSD-Level: XRGW036
RMVIEW output :

Device Type: MS-SCSI Bus/Width: PCI 32 BIT
I/O = 0X4000 Len = 16 Flg = EXCLUSIVE Addr Lines = 16
IRQ Level = 15 PCI Pin = NONE Flg = SHARED
Device: TAPE_(5,0) Quantum DLT4500 D474 TAPE
Device: CHANGER_(5,1) Quantum TZ Media Changer D474 CHANGER
Can anybody help ?
