Maybe this can help. I'm a bit vague on this but I seem to remember that
when defining a tape path, do not accept the Win2K name for the device
entry. There is a naming convention that Tivoli uses (mtn.n.n.n).
If you use the Win2K name and move things around, things can go wonky (sorry
to be technical here), We used the Tivoli one and things seemed to settle
down. Best of luck.

Hallo,
there is a redbook from IBM I used it as manual how to install the LTO
library with TSM, and we use also the Windows 2000 drives and has no
problems.

I have seen similar problems and I found out to use Windows original
Adaptec driver believe it or not.
Other symptoms have been poor performance, TSM can't initialize Drives
etc.
There is some notes about Adaptec on the IBM web, Tape Librarys.
One issue earlier was to set transfer speed to 80 MB in the Adaptec
BIOS.
Med vänlig hälsning

Hi All,
Setting up the third of four TSM servers on Win2000 with 3583-L36,
the define of the path for the library hangs. We have updated the
firmware on the adpatec scsi cards, upgraded the ultrium device drives
to
the latest available from the ftp site (5.0.6.6, if memory serves), and
even reinstalled TSM, all to no avail. Windows sees all four devices,
the
changer and three drives. If I define a manual library, I can then
define
all three drives and their paths, but when define the library, the
degine
library works, but the define path fails.
Anyone seen this before? Anyone have any ideas on how to trouble shoot
this? There are no indication anywhere I know to look for what is
wrong...TSM Console, Win2000 Event Viewer, the 3583 itself....
Thanks,
