You don't mention whether you have already loaded the correct IBM device
drivers for LTO3's through Windows device manager, but the below might
be of assistance.

The way in which the Windows TSM device driver works changed at V5.2.
See serwinref.pdf

IBM Device Driver for 3570, 3590, and IBM LTO Devices Important: If you
currently use 3570, 3590, or IBM LTO devices, you will need to install
the IBMTape driver that supports your device. The Tivoli Storage Manager
Device Driver will no longer recognize these devices. See the
Administrator's Guide for more information and instructions on how to
download the drivers and Installation and User Guides.


If You need the specific IBM Tape device drivers for Ultrium drives.
You can download them from

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/

Hi list,

I have a TSM 5.3.2 Server running on a W2K SP4 with a IBM Ultrium LTO
III 3580 connected via SCSI interface. The TSM Device Driver service
does not start and I get the following error:

"The system could not find the device specified"........

Please advise.

Thanks

Mario
