Mario As the post from Bill alludes to, the TSM device driver is for non-IBM devices, if you only have LTO drives connected, you do not need the TSM device driver started. On my Wintel server with IBM library and LTO drives, it is set to manual and is in a stopped state.
If you are still having problems seeing your drives or defining them, then the problem is elsewhere. Check that the IBM Tape driver that you have is at a sufficient level to support LTO3.

The way in which the Windows TSM device driver works changed at V5.2. See serwinref.pdf IBM Device Driver for 3570, 3590, and IBM LTO Devices Important: If you currently use 3570, 3590, or IBM LTO devices, you will need to install the IBMTape driver that supports your device. The Tivoli Storage Manager Device Driver will no longer recognize these devices. See the Administrator's Guide for more information and instructions on how to download the drivers and Installation and User Guides. If You need the specific IBM Tape device drivers for Ultrium drives. You can download them from ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/ Leigh -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mario Behring Sent: 10 October 2006 16:54 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [SPAM: 14.000] [ADSM-L] TSM Device driver is not starting Hi list, I have a TSM 5.3.2 Server running on a W2K SP4 with a IBM Ultrium LTO III 3580 connected via SCSI interface.
