I only have one in q drive. The TSM driver only saw or created one device,
mtx.x.x.x. The tape drives are of the same technology. Quantum DLT 7000
drives.
If you do a q drive, TSM only shows the one drive. Q lib shows the one
manual library DLTLIB2. I can't really define a path because the TSM device
driver does not see any other devices.
Perhaps your suggestion of Windows grabbing the drives before TSM is what is
occuring. How can this be resolved. Is it as simple as stopping RSM
service?? Or setting it to manual?

What do you mean TSM only sees one - the TSM driver creates only one
mtX.X.X.X device, you have only one in "Query DRives" or have defined only
one path (server -> drive)? Manual drives are just like other ones. If you
assume something like "def path manuallib srctype=server desttype=library
dev=LBserver_room.human_operator" the rest is just the same. If drives are
of same technology you can group them in "multi-head" library. If are
different each drive type must form separate library. In your case:
- if the problem is with the driver, handle it as usual - check first isn't
Windows grabbing the drives before TSM driver.
- if configuration problem, check that you have 1 library in "q libr
<manual_lib>", 4 drives in "q dr <manual_lib>" and 4 paths (1 for each
drive) in "q path".

Subject: TSM Server setup
Hi all,
I have a test TSM server running 5.1.5.2 on W2K. There is a QUANTUM DLT
7000 SCSI attached 4 drive manual library. I am using the TSM device driver
to see the tape drive. I can label and use a tape in one of the drives.
The problem is there is 4 tape drives, but TSM only sees one. Is there a
driver or configuration issue?? My experience in manual drives is very
limited so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Matt
