Re: tsm not recognizing tape unit

Hi Mario,
Guessing from your notes, you have ran the install.exe that comes with the
driver. The driver you are using is not the latest (6.1.3.8 is). Have you tried
using an older driver like 6.0.8.2 (I can e-mail it if you don't have it)?
What FW has the LTO3 drive, if not the latest have you tries upgrading the FW
on the drive?
Is the drive visible on the HBA (Fibre or SCSI) during the BIOS part of the
boot process?
Is the HBA at a supported FW level?
If the HBA is a SCSI-320? If so, have you tried setting it to 160, there is an
issue when the drive or library is on a 320 channel.
Is the drive visible under W2K?
Met vriendelijke groet, with kind regards,
Richard van Denzel

Hi list,
I have the following environment:
TSM 5.3.2 Server running on a W2K box
IBM ULTRIUM III LTO 3580 connected via SCSI
I´ve installed the windows certified driver downloaded from the
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Windows/Win2000/Latest/ and
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Windows/Win2000/LTO_WHQL_Cert.................I´ve
tried both versions...........looks like that only the certified one
works.....................the install output is below:
Running installation application, version 6.1.3.5.
Preparing system for driver installation...
Uninstalling existing tape drives...
Existing tape drives successfully uninstalled.
Installing/updating the tape bus enumerator...
Successfully installed/updated the tape bus enumerator.
Installing driver for tape drives...
Driver for tape drives installed.
Program successful.
I´ve also disabled the Windows Removable Storage service.
Unfortunatelly TSM does not recognize the tape unit. I´ve tried this with and
without the TSM Device Driver. Looks like TSM Device Driver does not support
the IBM LTO Ultrium tape units................The output from the tsmdlst
command is as follows:
