First, run get a glass of scotch.
Second, reinstall using NT as your OS.
Third, throw away your W2K disks so you won't be tempted to use them again
for a while.
I don't believe that you will be able to make LAN free backups work with
this configuration. If you can't share an RSM library, you can't make TSM
work the way it's supposed to. Same problem with ACSLS libraries. I posted
a not last week about ACSLS and was met with deafening silence so who knows
when this gets fixed.
You don't do checkins with RSM. You put the tape in the library and magic
happens. Actually, it isn't magic. You put the tape in and then using RSM
move it to an RSM pool. Then TSM can see it again. You don't do audit
library either.
The good news is your customer has a really nice library!

Subject: RSM, 3583, W2K and SAN LAN free backups + DRM
Hi,
One of our customers have got a 3583 tape library with W2K and RSM that we
got working thanks to some of the previous input (we are on TSM 4.1.1,
awaiting 4.1.2 to come back soon for W2K).
Now I only need to get LAN free backups and DRM working...
Some question marks:
-DRM is usually easy with 3494 libraries and AIX but here on a 3583 accessed
through W2K RSM the information about tapes seems to a large degree be
outside of TSM, I can't see how the checkin's are to be done?
-Implementing LAN free backup by following the TSM Manage systems for SAN
Storage Agent seems to indicate that I need to define a shared SCSI library
which is not the same as a RSM library?
Has anyone done this before that can give me some info on how it is to be
done?
IBM: I really look forward to the patch that removes RSM from the control of
the Library. Is it coming soon or will you at least improve the
documentation for RSM usage?
Regards,
Jan Norback
