This will only affect you if your TSM server is still running Windows 2000. If you have important systems running w2k which are TSM clients and you don't want to update them to a newer OS, IBM will still support them using the TSM 5.3.6 client. TSM clients don't need to be able to run the tape drive drivers.

If you have a w2k TSM server that you can't upgrade, then you are probably limited to buying older tape drives that have w2k drivers if you need to expand that system. If you need to expand your backup environment, it might be a better long-term investment to buy a new server and add the new tape drives to that new server.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
As we know from readme for driver:

*****************

* General Items *

*****************

1) Support for Windows 2000 on new IBM Tape products has been discontinued. LTO 3 and 3592-E05 are the last tape drives that will be supported on this operating system.

we have a couple of important w2k servers and really bad idea performing upgrade to w2k3...

I appreciate any help.
