Andy,

This is not TSM SAN Discovery problem.  This is more of a IBM tape driver
issue.   Did you have to re-install the IBM tape device driver for some of
the device each time after reboot?     Did you have this problem before or
only with  device driver 6.2.0.1?

Hi,

Is Removable storage service disabled?

Subject: [ADSM-L] IBM Tape Device Driver - Windows Server 2008

I've installed the IBM Tape Device Driver v6.2.0.1 onto a Windows 2008
x64 Server.  The install is always successful and installs on all medium
changers and tape drives.

On some devices, when I reboot the server the driver doesn't stay
associated to the tape or medium changer device.  This appears to be
adhoc and changes after every reboot.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour or got any suggestions please?

I've not configured persistent bindings this time since the TSM docs
state that SAN Discovery is the way forward and there is no need for
them.  Is this perhaps the issue here?

Thanks.

Andy
