I just did a new TSM installation for a customer today, using the Windows
server version 5.1.5.2, and boy was it slick going in! The IBM 3583 LTO tape
library installation, which is where installs usually fall down, went as
smooth as silk. When I told the TSM device driver to use Windows
2000/optical support, the library was automatically bound to using the TSM
device driver; the drives were left using the Ultrium drivers. It found the
element numbers automatically. Sweet!

I only have one reservation right now. We set up the web-based client
service on several boxes (Windows client version 5.1.5.2). But we couldn't
get them to finish loading. When you went to http://<client_name>:1581, the
java app would start to load, but would never finish. We waited a few
minutes on each of them, but finally gave up. The regular client GUI works
fine.

Has anyone run across this?
