tape utility for sony ait-2, anyone?
2005-07-26 09:09:47
Hello,
I've been trying to access our Sony ait-2 drives using the ibm ntutil.exe,
to no avail. ntutil doesn't recognize the tape drives. OK, so I concluded
that it only works for IBM drives. Is this correct?
I downloaded and installed the Sony tape drive utility - which claims that
there are no Sony tape drives around (although it sees the devices on the
SCSI bus and even shows their identification as Sony SDX 500C). I suspect
it works only if I install the Sony tape driver.
Oh, and yes, I shutdown the TSM server before trying to access the tape
drives.
Any ideas how to proceed?

TSM Version: 5.2.4.0
