I had such a bad experience with Dell firmware on the 136T that I sent
it back.
I suggest you do the same and buy another box. Both the Adic scalar 100
and the IBM 3583 are the same box, with different firmware and work
fine. (the IBM one has IBM drives)

In my experience, Dell's firmware updates for the 136T do not
necessarily get better in reliability over time!

Regards..

Subject: TSM 4.2.2.x Problem using Dell Powervault 136T

Hello,
Having problems with my Dell Powervault 136T LTO
library.  I upgraded the library firmware from 2.73 to
2.88, and now TSM doesn't see the library as such.

Seems to me that this might be a TSM Device driver
issue, but I'm not sure how to fix.

Running TSM 4.2.2.2 on Win2K server.  Was working
before the firmware upgrade.  We were having the
library occasionally reset by itself, so Dell
suggested the firmware update.

Any suggestions?

Thanx in advance...
