Possible connection: I have a customer that just upgraded the firmware
to latest levels on his Dell PowerVault 128T, and he could no longer
access his drives. I haven't heard from him, but I mentioned that he
might have to back off on the firmware level.

Again, I don't know if yours is the same problem, but it sounds similar.

>Hey all,

>The TSM Device Driver (tsmscsi.sys v5.2.3.5122 & tsmscsi.exe
>v5.2.2.2056) sees the library and all the drives no problem.
