hi, ive been lurking for a while and can finally contribute.
1) the updated directions on the IBM LTO web site are very clear and straight forward, with lots of screen shots. http://ssddom02.storage.ibm.com/tape/lto/faqs/ntupdt3583fmr.html http://ssddom02.storage.ibm.com/tape/lto/faqs/ntupdtfmr.html web page does better job than i can describing what to do. But, I think your problem might simply be you need to select #1 for Read/Write NOT #2 as it is for Read Only good luck -mike --------------------------------------------- Michael Yager IBM Global Services (919)382-4808 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/15/01 08:42AM >>> Hi All, I am having a severe problem in performance of the LTO it is as low as 5Gb/Hr. I was suggested to upgrade the Drive micro code (originally it was 0BN1). I upgraded the LTO library micro code 2.62.0001 successfully thru serial cable. When I attempt to upgrade Drive0 Micro code it gave the following error: enter selection : 20 Enter open mode <1> RW <2> RO: 2 special file <\\.\tape0> will be opened Error: THE SYSTEM CANNOT FIND THE FILE SPECIFIED. analyze <> called with rc err 2 <ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND> DATA 0 analyze conclusion ... ERROR not as expected ERROR, test failed! In fact i have stopped the device drivers of the tape device before I start NTUTIL. I have even tried with device drivers in started mode also. LTO model : 3583 with one tape drive. With out any optional modules. I thought of calling IBM since the device is in warranty but in India they will take their own course of time. If any one help me out in this regards will be of great help. Regards O.Senthil NT Administrator Ph: 2540888 Ext :2164
