-George- The Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows: Administrator's Guide may give a little more insight on the device drivers.
See Chapter 4. Adding Devices to TSM http://www.tivoli.com/support/public/Prodman/public_manuals/td/SMNTN/GC35-04 10-02/en_US/HTML/anrwtfrm.htm Regards, Demetrius Malbrough UNIX/TSM Administrator -----Original Message----- From: George Lesho [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 10:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Win 2000 devices Folks, I am a Unix admin / storage admin but I have recently been given the task of administering a remote TSM server. The O/S for this box is Win 2000 with SP2. Our remote server is at TSM 4.1.5. Our local NT admin and the remote NT admin (at the boxes location) spent most of the afternoon yesterday fumbling with a Tivoli support person who was unlucky enough to receive our trouble call. It seems there are a bunch of ways it might be possible to install scsi, tape and library drivers with multiple versions of some of these drivers on the install CD and other versions available from the IBM ftp site. The Tivoli support person who responded to the call knew less than our guys and all are now totally confused as to what/how to install the drivers. We now have all devices showing up in the O/S but they have yellow circles with exclamation marks for the library and drives. We have a Magstar 3575L24 with four 3570C drives. Are there install instructions out there that provide the necessary detail to to this right? If you have this or a similar set up, can you provide any tips on which Microsoft drivers vs which TSM drivers to use and which drivers you actually ARE using? Also provide the hardware microcode level used with your set up. I really need to get this set up and with the holidays looming, TSM support will probably not get better ;-) Thanks George Lesho AFC Enterprises
