Zoltan, My Windows is Win2K and my 3494 is Lan not SAN; BUT:
You are using the IBM MAGSTAR drivers for the 3590 drives, yes? So you don't need the TSM device driver started. AND, on Win2K, you have to go in to Windows services and DISABLE the Windows RSM service when you are using the 3590's, or Windows will try to grab them at boot time. Don't know if that applies to Win3K or not, but take a look...

So far, all of my attempts at making this work, say it isn't. The major problem is that as soon as I enable the 3494/3590E1A drives on the Windows box (2003), I start getting "drive inaccessibilty" failures on the AIX TSM server. The SAN connection is via Qlogic 2342 cards. I realize this is the Microsoft way (you will be assimilated..............resistance is futile......;--) ). Before I trash this attempt and install RedHat AS 2.1 (or will AS 3 work for TSM on Linux), does anyone such a configuration that actually works and "plays nice"!
