>I just purchased the following setup:

>IBM 3575 Library w/ 1 3570 "C" drive.
>ADSM for Solaris 3.1.2 (Solaris 2.6, fully patched - Enterprise 250)
>Adaptec 2944UW / OF Differential SCSI adapter
>
>However, I have run into a small problem. I have everything installed,
>including the latest IBM driver for the 3575 Library for Solaris 2.6. When
I
>run the tapeutil program, I can communicate with both the Library and the
>tape drive. However, when I attempt to add the drive under ADSM, I get an
>immediate Panic message in my system console telling me I have an adapter
>freeze. Now, normally I would think this was a communication or termination
>problem on the SCSI bus, but as I mentioned, I can communicate all day long
>with the Library using the tapeutil program; it only has problems under
>ADSM.

>BTW, the 3575 Library and Drive are the only devices on that SCSI bus.

>I am new to ADSM, so maybe I am doing something wrong. I have followed the

to
>add the Automated Tape as /dev/rmt/2smc, which is the symbolic link to the
>tape device. I can add the automated Library just fine though
>(/dev/rmt/3smc).
