I'm surprised you are seeing this. Normally, an ungraceful halt will not cause drive problems: when the system comes back up and TSM starts communications with the library, drives will be unloaded and operations should resume as normal. What kind of library are you using?

The HALT Administrator Command should shutdown TSM. After that a normal Windows Shutdown should work. If you are talking about a way to automate, you can do the dsmadmc HALT command in batch, no problem. I think you can do the system restart also, but that does not do a poweroff of the machine. This is not a mainframe. -----Original Message----- From: Michel David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 10:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to shutdown computer ? Hi everybody Is there a soft way to close TSM, Shut Down the Computer and Power on the computer back ? This seems to be easy but when we do this and we are making some operation on the Drive (SONY SDX - AIT1/2) - the Drive becomes unavailable - the Media inside becomes unavailable - The drive is turned offline. (I/O Error . Drive unaccessible) How can I be sure that when my computer is turned off, I don't kill one drive and Tape ?
