Maybe this can help. I'm a bit vague on this but I seem to remember that when defining a tape path, do not accept the Win2K name for the device entry. There is a naming convention that Tivoli uses (mtn.n.n.n). If you use the Win2K name and move things around, things can go wonky (sorry to be technical here), We used the Tivoli one and things seemed to settle down. Best of luck.

Other symptoms have been poor performance, TSM can't initialize Drives etc. There is some notes about Adaptec on the IBM web, Tape Librarys. One issue earlier was to set transfer speed to 80 MB in the Adaptec BIOS.

We have updated the firmware on the adpatec scsi cards, upgraded the ultrium device drives to the latest available from the ftp site (5.0.6.6, if memory serves), and even reinstalled TSM, all to no avail. Windows sees all four devices, the changer and three drives. If I define a manual library, I can then define all three drives and their paths, but when define the library, the degine library works, but the define path fails. Anyone seen this before? Anyone have any ideas on how to trouble shoot this? There are no indication anywhere I know to look for what is wrong...TSM Console, Win2000 Event Viewer, the 3583 itself....
