We are currently using IBM device driver 6.2.04 for our 3584 library with 3592-E05 drives. Server is running Windows 2003 and TSM 5.5.3.0.
I was reading the driver documentation and saw that there is a registry setting that will force the tape driver to maintain its mapping (device name) after a reboot so I made the change to see if it would work. After the first reboot after the registry change, the device names changed from: (this is just an example) \\.\tape1<file:///\\.\tape1> to \\.\tape4801101<file:///\\.\tape4801101> Has anyone else seen this behavior? I changed the device name in the paths on the library manager server and it seems to work just fine.
