TS3310 tape library not communicating with TSM 6.2 on windows 2008

[N.joshi]

Hi all,

There is a issue regarding TS3310 configuration on TSM 6.2, starting from scratch,

TS3310 TAPE Library DETAILS
This library named as library_a is having 2 enclosures 0 & -1, each having 2 drives, in total there are 4 active drives in my Library.
wen i am initially configuring my TSM server after fresh installation, at tym of device configuration it is jst showing 2 drives to configure mt8.0.0.5 & mt8.0.0.6 under my tsm server, there is no library populating up in the device configuration wizard, wen i configured the drives, they are coming under to different library, path is defined, and type is coming as manual, there is option coming for checkin volumes and nothing, even when i try to audit the library it is showing as not valid option the library, somewhere i get that that the tape library is not been configured on TSM server but unable to find the path.

Kindly suggest the solution.

If windows does not see the medium changer in device manager here is what I got from IBM to uninstall/install library and drive drivers:
First: ( Do not reboot when prompted but reboot at the end of the uninstall)
The latest "IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide"
recommends the following steps if upgrading the IBM driver and a
previous driver had been applied to devices:

Device Removal or Disable Procedure
If you need to remove a device, or if you are altering the hardware
configuration, you will need to uninstall or disable the device first:

* 1. Right-click My Computer, select Manage to open the Computer
* * Management Console, and click Device Manager.
*2. Right-click the TotalStorage or Magstar device you wish to
* * uninstall and select Uninstall .... If you wish to disable the
* * device without uninstalling it, you may select Disable.
*3. You are prompted to confirm the uninstallation. Click OK.
*4. In Device Manager, under System devices, right click Changer Bus
* * Enumerator and select Uninstall.
*5. In Device Manager, under System devices, right click Tape Bus
* * Enumerator and select Uninstall.

* NOTE: This removal procedure removes the device from the device tree,
* * * *but it does not uninstall the device driver files from your hard disk.

Uninstalling the Device Drivers

To uninstall the device drivers from the system, which includes deleting
the system files and deallocating other system resources, complete the
following:

* 1. Complete the steps under Device Removal or Disable Procedure to
* * remove the tape and medium changer devices.
*2. Double-click uninst.exe in the driver package.

* Note: This removes all the files in the system directories that were
* * * *created during the installation of the device driver. It does
* * * *not delete the .zip file or the files that were extracted from
* * * *the .zip file. If you desire to remove these files, you need to
* * * *delete them manually.

* 3. Reboot the system


Installation:
1. Once the system has rebooted open a DOS prompt.
2. Move to the driver directory which is currently C :\TSM INSTALL FILES\TAPE LIBRARY DRIVERS
3. Run install_execlusive.exe to install the drivers
4. REBOOT
5. Installation is done
