I spent many days trying to get Windows Removable storage working with TSM, but the command functions are not the same when using the TSM drivers.
What I needed to do is disable the Removable storage service, install the TSM Device drivers. You may also need to adjust your scsi id for the robot arm to something other than 0 (zero). I had to actually put the robot arm on its own scsi (but I was connecting to a SAN, and using a fibre Data Router) and terminate the drives separately. My setup is TSM 4.2.1.6 with a Compaq DLT library connected directly to a SAN via fibre and a Data Router.

The O/S for this box is Win 2000 with SP2. Our remote server is at TSM 4.1.5. Our local NT admin and the remote NT admin (at the boxes location) spent most of the afternoon yesterday fumbling with a Tivoli support person who was unlucky enough to receive our trouble call. It seems there are a bunch of ways it might be possible to install scsi, tape and library drivers with multiple versions of some of these drivers on the install CD and other versions available from the IBM ftp site. The Tivoli support person who responded to the call knew less than our guys and all are now totally confused as to what/how to install the drivers. We now have all devices showing up in the O/S but they have yellow circles with exclamation marks for the library and drives. We have a Magstar 3575L24 with four 3570C drives. Are there install instructions out there that provide the necessary detail to to this right? If you have this or a similar set up, can you provide any tips on which Microsoft drivers vs which TSM drivers to use and which drivers you actually ARE using? Also provide the hardware microcode level used with your set up. I really need to get this set up and with the holidays looming, TSM support will probably not get better ;-) Thanks George Lesho AFC Enterprises
