We have a Win2K TSM server with a point-to-point Ethernet connection to a 3494 library with 3- 3590 fibre drives. I think that is exactly the same setup as using 3590 SCSI drives, except of course for the type of cable.
Now that 3494 is also attached to a mainframe and has 2 ESCON controllers and 5 additional 3590 ESCON drives installed that are dedicated to the mainframe, but all that is pretty much independent of the Windows connection to the 3494. We have a second 3494 in a different location that also is attached to a Win2K TSM server, 2 fibre drives, point-to-point Ethernet, shared with another mainframe, more ESCON 3590 drives, etc. Identical to the first setup except for the number of drives. So, I've done it twice, had no problems at all with the setup. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Cini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 5:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Anyone using 3494 and Windows 2000 Server? Is anyone running TSM server on a Windows 2000 server connected directly to a 3494 with (2)3590 drives (SCSI)? IBM says it's supported but we spoke with some IBM tech reps and they said they have never seen it implemented. Just curious Mark Cini Systems Administrator CorrFlex Display & Packaging
