Steve,

The TSM device driver does not support drives with device ID "STT20000A".
You will need the Windows native driver for this device.

Thanks for the reply,

I tried what you suggested, uninstalled the TSM device driver (via
add/remove
programs). Checked ms driver with backup utility from seagate, backup works
fine.

Installed TSM device driver from CD.
Went to device manager, update drivers -- windows could not find the ibm
device driver,
even had it scan the CD (there is no INF file for the adsmscsi.sys). So I
tried forcefully
installing it by modifying the winnt/inf/tape.inf file and put in an entry
for IBM and for the
admscsi.sys file. It seemed to install fine, rebooted, check the driver
property and it
seems fine, lists ibm driver as shown here

http://www.steveo.us/tivoli/4.jpg

But now when I go into TSM console and try to "start" the driver I get the
error

"Unable to start the TSM Device Driver.
Reason: The system cannot find the device specified."

as shown here

http://www.steveo.us/tivoli/5.jpg

I then tried in the driver properties, putting the device over to the left
column "Devices
controlled by TSM Device Driver", rebooted , but it put the device back to
the column
"Devices controlled by Native Device Drivers"

as shown here

http://www.steveo.us/tivoli/6.jpg

So how do I properly install this driver if there is no inf file for it.

I also see in the docs that in windows 2000 that the tsm device drivers are
not needed.


Thanks for any help
