I found where I got the info on how to do this... http://webdocs.caspur.it/ibm/web/tsm-5.1/win/html/guide/anrwgd46.htm
basically, you set it up as a manual library. I had DirectCD or whatever ROXIO calls that product these days onstalled on the TSM server along with the CD Writer, and got that working first. you either get to label a bunch of CDs first, or take a minute or so whenever you want to write to CD. Just as a hint, if you have a cabinet where the CD Writer is and it opens to be outside the cabinet (like the door interfeers with ejecting the CD), remove the cabinet door or do something to ensure it doesn't get in the way of the CDWriter whenever there is another CD needed. I am sure this technique would work for writing DVD's too, if you want to do those instead. This makes DVD+RWs sound reasonably priced. > -----Original Message----- > From: Juerg Waldmeier [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, May 10, 2004 8:07 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: CD writer instead of a tape drive > > Hi everybody, > just having installed a TSM server in a small test Windows XP environment > I > wonder if it is possible to configure an external CD writer for mass > storage purposes instead of a tape drive. > > > Best regards > > Juerg Waldmeier > IBM Certified System Administrator AIX > > Database Management Open Systems > ================================ > Zurich Insurance Company > MAIL: Unterrohrstrasse 5 > IED, SCUN, 00 > CH-8952 Schlieren > Switzerland > FON: +411 625 82 73 > FAX: +411 625 92 73 > WWW: http://www.zurich.com > MOBILE: +4179 372 43 08 > EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > ******************* BITTE BEACHTEN ******************* > Diese Nachricht (wie auch allf�llige Anh�nge dazu) beinhaltet > m�glicherweise vertrauliche oder gesetzlich gesch�tzte Daten oder > Informationen.
