We have an IBM3584 tape Library that we have logically divided into 4 libraries 
to connect to 4 TSM Servers.(3 AIX TSM Servers and 1 new Windows 2000 TSM 
Server)
The 4th Windows 2000 TSM Server is just being built.
This Server is connected to a EMC Clarion SAN. The Tape Drives in the Libarary 
are also connected to the SAN thru' a FC switch. We have all the drives and the 
HBA on the Server in a zone.
Now the problem is that although we can see all the SAN attached drives on the 
Server there is some problem with how the Server sees the Changer or should I 
say does not see the changer at all.
On the device manager for Win2000
for the Emulex card we have the Fabric-Automap SCSI devices driver (also tried 
out the nonautomap).
On the medium changers we have the
IBM3584 UltraScalable Tape library for Win2K.
Under Tape drives we have the
IBM ULT3580-TDI SCI Sequential device.
But when we try to configure the devices on the TSM management console wizard 
we get:
Changer0 not recognized by Removable Storage Manager. TSM server does not 
support medium changers that are driven by Windows native device drivers unless 
they are controlled by Removable Storage Manager. Consult TSM documentation for 
......
Has anybody seen this before and have any suggestions on how to proceed? We 
have been at a standstill for 2 days now trying different workarounds.
Any help is appreciated.
