Re: Using Sun dds4 drive with tsm
Hi, I have two Sun E250s with dds4 drives. I had tried to use the sun driver with tsm but tsm did not like it and was forced to use IBMs driver (the tape would not get mounted). I have not had the need to do a bare restore but have been able to use the ibm driver with ufsdump. I use the dds4 drives and tsm server 5 to backup up the servers and then backup the database across the network to two different hard drives.

How to stop tape from being ejected?
Hello, I'm running tsm 5.1 on sun solaris 8 with a DDS4 tape drive. After any tape operation such as labeling a tape or a backup the tape is ejected, and I have to go back to the server room to put the tape back in. Anyway to configure the software to stop ejecting the tape? Thanks

Hello all, I'm trying to use a seagate IDE tape drive on linux, linux recognized it as /dev/hdf and it works but tsm's driver seems to be only for scsi drives. If I use /dev/hdf in the device path command TSM cannot access it and gives me an I/O error. Thanks for any help

Re: Help needed using seagate STT20000A
Thanks for the reply, I tried what you suggested, uninstalled the TSM device driver (via add/remove programs). Checked ms driver with backup utility from seagate, backup works fine. Installed TSM device driver from CD. Went to device manager, update drivers -- windows could not find the ibm device driver, even had it scan the CD (there is no INF file for the adsmscsi.sys). So I tried forcefully installing it by modifying the winnt/inf/tape.inf file and put in an entry for IBM and for the admscsi.sys file. It seemed to install fine, rebooted, check the driver property and it seems fine, lists ibm driver as shown here http://www.steveo.us/tivoli/4.jpg But now when I go into TSM console and try to "start" the driver I get the error "Unable to start the TSM Device Driver. Reason: The system cannot find the device specified." as shown here http://www.steveo.us/tivoli/5.jpg I then tried in the driver properties, putting the device over to the left column "Devices controlled by TSM Device Driver", rebooted , but it put the device back to the column "Devices controlled by Native Device Drivers" as shown here http://www.steveo.us/tivoli/6.jpg So how do I properly install this driver if there is no inf file for it. I also see in the docs that in windows 2000 that the tsm device drivers are not needed.
