I have a 3575-L32 that is going away soon. Has been attached to
an RS6000 model F50. The library firmware is on a chip (yes I know this
is different from most libraries) and version 2.19 is the latest (and final, I
believe, version). The drive microcode can be installed by your IBM CE
and he can upgrade the library firmware if necessary.
I don't know about using this library on W2K.
One extra note though, I have had occasional problems with the SCSI
cables on this library when disconnecting/connecting - as when a drive
is replaced. Carefully examine the connectors as to pins bent or recessed
in them etc. Can give intermittant and flaky results. I have seen a few
others on this list have problems also.

Hi *SM-ers!
This posting may be a bit off-topic where TSM is concerned, sorry for
that...
We have an "old" 3575-L32 library which can be used by an other department
which uses Veritas Backup Exec 8.6 (yeah yeah, I know. But this department
will no longer exist in about a year from now, so I would rather let them
keep on using this software than investing a lot of time and effort in
migrating them to TSM).
They tried using this library, but they encounter SCSI time-outs.
I checked ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Windows/Win2000/ device
drivers, but I couldn't find any. The only thing I found at
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/357x/ is microcode (a fix maybe?) but
there is no procedure down there on how to install this microcode.
Does anybody has some experience with using such a library outside of TSM?
Thanks in advance for any reply!!!
Kindest regards,
