Hi The Problem you are facing is LTO library does not work with Tivoli Storage Manager in windows 2000.
Solution I have not tried this but this what IBM recommends RSM under Windows 2000 is no longer needed. Install the 4.1.3.0 or later version of the TSM server. The following information is contained in the TSM server readme: * $$3 Additonal information on support for LTO Tape Drives on Windows * TSM allows users to define the 3581, 3583 and 3584 IBM LTO libraries as LIBTYPE=SCSI Because Windows 2000's Removable Storage Manager (or RSM) does not always handle devices properly behind a SAN, TSM is now allowing 3581, 3583, and 3584 libraries to be defined as type SCSI. (RSM does not auto-configure the libraries on the SAN Data Gateway because the SDG re-maps the SCSI device id's and logical unit number's of the drives in the library and RSM cannot resolve the SDG addresses with those contained in the Read Element Status data for the drives.) When 3581, 3583, or 3584 libraries are defined as type SCSI, TSM device driver on Windows 2000 will control the medium-changer in the 3581, 3583 and 3584 libraries. TSM will continue to support the definition of the library as type RSM for those customers who wish to utilize RSM. With the introduction of the SSD LTO technology, TSM has changed how it supports SSD tape devices and uses the SSD device driver to control the LTO drives on the NT platforms. Now SSD LTO customers can easily download microcode updates and perform other serviceability functions. NOTE: Whether RSM or TSM device driver controls the medium-changer in the library, the SSD device driver will control the LTO drives. The users who wish to migrate from LIBTYPE=RSM to LIBTYPE=SCSI should procede using the following steps: - Disable RSM. - Install the TSM device driver and ensure it recognizes the LTO library. (You can use tsmdlst.exe located in the utils directory for this or use the TSM Server Utilities GUI) - Delete the current LIBTYPE=RSM definition for the LTO library. - Define the LTO library via the DEFINE LIBRARY command using LIBTYPE=SCSI. - Define the drives in the LTO library via the DEFINE DRIVE command. - Check the volumes via the CHECKIN LIBVOLUME command using SEARCH=YES. - First use STATUS=SCRATCH. - TSM will not check volumes defined to a storage pool or in the volume history file into its library inventory. - Then use STATUS=PRIVATE. - TSM will now check volumes defined to a storage pool or in the volume history file into its library inventory. NOTE: Refer to the following web pages for default element addresses of the IBM LTO Libraries IBM 3583 at the following websites: [http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/devices_latest/atab104.htm] with regards jayanth "Murkowski, Krzysztof" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -POZNAN.PL> cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Subject: Moving 3583 from WinNT to Win2000 server Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/29/2003 12:02 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" Hello, I'm trying to move TSM server 3.7.4.0 with LTO 3583 from WinNT to Win2000 box. I have problem with installing TSM device for LTO on Win2k. At the source server (WinNT) in program 'TSM Server Utilities' at tab 'Device Information' I have following informations: Device Type ; TSM Device Name ; TSM Device Type MediumChangerPheripheral ; lb3.0.0.6 ; LIBRARY TapePeripheral ; \\.\Tape1 ; GENERICTAPE In Win2000 I'm installing: - phisicaly the same SCSI Adapter and LTO library - TSM 3.7.4.0 - LTO driver IBMUltrium.Win2K_5065.zip for the drive and the library and I have following configuration: Device Type ; TSM Device Name ; TSM Device Type MediumChangerPheripheral ; Changer0 ; n/a TapePeripheral ; \\.\Tape1 ; GENERICTAPE If I'm removing LTO drivers and Win2k service 'Removable storage' I have something like that: Device Type ; TSM Device Name ; TSM Device Type MediumChangerPheripheral ; n/a ; n/a TapePeripheral ; \\.\Tape1 ; GENERICTAPE As you see there is problem with TSM Device for library. What should I do and in which order to have TSM Device installed ??? Any help greatfully appreciated.
