You don't need to specify an element number with a LTO 3581 since it only
has one drive.  Do the command again without the element number and it
should work as long as you use the IBM driver in Windows2000.

*SMers, we're trying to use a LTO 3581in a Windows 2000 server.

When we try to define a drive, with:

define drive lb1.0.0.2 LTO device=\\.\tape0 element=16 online=yes

we receive the following message:

ANR8366E Define drive: invalid value for element parameter.

We tried element number from 16 to 30 without success.

Any gotchas?


Thanks in advance!

Regards,
     Mauricio
