Hi, 
i've yesterday spoked with IBM too ... and the problem was sold ! 
The IBM man told me that most problems happen after update from V5.1.x to 
V5.2.2, cause somewhere should be written that 3583 Libraries are not 
supported wit TSM Drivers ! So i must download a latest drivers from IBM 
web site and install it .. current driver is 5.0.6.7. The joke is only 
there that you must use the "magchgr.inf" file for your 3583 Tape Library. 
I've done it so and it's working ?!

Re: Libraries LTO problems with WIN2000 SP4 and TSM 5.2.2.0






Hello Wanda,

You are right, I have to be more accurate.

I sent this message because of  messages (see here after) stating that TSM 
didn't recognize library (after reboot) or with analogous symptoms.
And we had the same problem with 2 customers (one of them had made several 
reboots of his server).
The only way was to delete/define the library.
First we thought it was a TSM versioning problem (5.1.8.0 then 5.2.2.0), 
and only with library LTO one-drive.
But it's not.
After research, IBM support said they have found and that it is a Adaptec 
driver bug (and to patch LTO too).

Our understanding of the situation today is :
With only Win2000 SP4 after some reboots (4, 5) the Adaptec driver (at 
least the one currently provided with the card) looses library definition 
and causes that TSM doesn't recognize any more the library (so TSM defines 
a new one with a default name, ...).

As I said, we are testing and, if needed, I will confirm and give more 
details. 

Best regards
