I searched ADSM-L the last few days and did not find instructions on how
to define an IBM 3583 as a SCSI device under Windows 2000. Here is
how I got it to work.
1. Disable the Removable Storage (a.k.a. RSM) service
2. Install TSM 4.1.3. Note: Read the readme files. You
must first remove TSM before installing 4.1.3.
3. From your original TSM 4.1.1 media install the License module.
4. I next attempted to use the GUI to define the library and drives.
TSM generated the following commands and messages:
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE LIBRARY lb6.0.0.5
libtype=scsi device=lb6.0.0.5
ANR8400I Library LB6.0.0.5 defined.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE DRIVE lb6.0.0.5
GENDRV_Tape0 device=\\.\Tape0 element=0
ANR8366E DEFINE DRIVE: Invalid value for ELEMENT parameter.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: ROLLBACK
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE DRIVE lb6.0.0.5
GENDRV_Tape1 device=\\.\Tape1 element=1
ANR8366E DEFINE DRIVE: Invalid value for ELEMENT parameter.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: ROLLBACK
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE DRIVE lb6.0.0.5
GENDRV_Tape2 device=\\.\Tape2 element=2
ANR8366E DEFINE DRIVE: Invalid value for ELEMENT parameter.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: ROLLBACK
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE DEVCLASS LTOCLASS1
devtype=LTO format=drive library=lb6.0.0.5
ANR2203I Device class LTOCLASS1 defined.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE STGPOOL LTOPOOL1
LTOCLASS1 maxscratch=500
ANR2200I Storage pool LTOPOOL1 defined (device class LTOCLASS1).
The drive element numbers are those that match the documentation for
Windows 2000/NT. However I think they are actually for RSM under
Windows 2000/NT. When the RSM service is disabled the element number
for the drives are 256-261.
5. I deleted the library, devclass, and stgpool definitions.
The customer wanted the library name to be LTO instead of lb6.0.0.5, so
I used the following definitions:
DEFINE LIBRARY LTO libtype=scsi device=lb6.0.0.5
DEFINE DRIVE LTO drive1 device=//./tape0 element=256
DEFINE DRIVE LTO drive2 device=//./tape1 element=257
DEFINE DRIVE LTO drive3 device=//./tape2 element=258
DEFINE DEVCLASS LTOCLASS1 devtype=LTO format=drive library=LTO
DEFINE STGPOOL LTOPOOL1 LTOCLASS1 maxscratch=500
6. I am now able to label, check in and check out tapes.
A q libv shows the home elements starting at 4096.
