Hi

What kind of library are you using?

The problem is probably that NT has installed the DLT drivers that are
included with Windows NT 4.0.

To use the ADSM device driver, you have to remove the NT driver located in
Control Panel >> Tape Drives.

After that, you should manually start the ADSM device driver, and then
define the drives.

One of the problems when using the Generic Tape device, is that you doesn't
always get the right compression level on the DLT drive.

Also, you will miss some features that is included in the DLT device class.

It is not recommendable to use the generic device class. This device class
is normally used for devices that isn't directly support under Tivoli

Hi all ... I have a question, because I have a server TSM 4.2.0.0 in NT 4
SP 6a and 4 drives Quantum DLT8000 and if I use the driver of TSM, doesn't
work.
But if I defined the drives as generic tape and use the driver of operating
system and the TSM work fine.

TSM 4.2.0.0 can work whit Quantum DLT8000 ? There are the drivers of TSM
4.2.0.0 for this drives ?
What is the difference is I define a generic tape and work with drivers of
operating system ? Is this recommendable ?

Thank very much for your answers ...
Regards.
