Hello Neil,

Currently, the TSM device driver does not support Storport drivers. So if
your tape drives or library are controlled by the TSM device driver, you
will need to use the SCSI port drivers.

Hi there

I've got to set up a Windows 2003 TSM server to access some SAN-based tape
drives. When installing the drivers for the (Emulex) HBAs I have a choice
between two different driver models - the Storport drivers and the SCSIport
drivers. I've always used SCSIport drivers on Windows 2000, but the
Storport drivers for Windows 2003 are supposed to offer better performance.

Anybody got any experience with Storport drivers, especially with TSM, who
would like to share their opinions?

Regards
