Ray,
You are the new TSM guru. You are the first to make this work. Have them
double whatever they are paying you.
Seriously, thanks for sharing the steps. Did you have to install the IBM
Ultrium Changer and Drive drivers or is ADSMSCSI doing all the work?

Subject: Defining IBM 3583 as a SCSI device under Windows 2000
I searched ADSM-L the last few days and did not find instructions on how
to define an IBM 3583 as a SCSI device under Windows 2000. Here is how I
got it to work.
1. Disable the Removable Storage (a.k.a. RSM) service
2. Install TSM 4.1.3. Note: Read the readme files. You must first remove
TSM before installing 4.1.3.
3. From your original TSM 4.1.1 media install the License module.
4. I next attempted to use the GUI to define the library and drives. TSM
generated the following commands and messages:
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE LIBRARY lb6.0.0.5
libtype=scsi device=lb6.0.0.5
ANR8400I Library LB6.0.0.5 defined.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE DRIVE lb6.0.0.5
GENDRV_Tape0 device=\\.\Tape0 element=0
ANR8366E DEFINE DRIVE: Invalid value for ELEMENT parameter.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: ROLLBACK
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE DRIVE lb6.0.0.5
GENDRV_Tape1 device=\\.\Tape1 element=1
ANR8366E DEFINE DRIVE: Invalid value for ELEMENT parameter.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: ROLLBACK
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE DRIVE lb6.0.0.5
GENDRV_Tape2 device=\\.\Tape2 element=2
ANR8366E DEFINE DRIVE: Invalid value for ELEMENT parameter.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: ROLLBACK
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE DEVCLASS LTOCLASS1
devtype=LTO format=drive library=lb6.0.0.5
ANR2203I Device class LTOCLASS1 defined.
ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE STGPOOL LTOPOOL1
LTOCLASS1 maxscratch=500
ANR2200I Storage pool LTOPOOL1 defined (device class LTOCLASS1).
The drive element numbers are those that match the documentation for
Windows 2000/NT. However I think they are actually for RSM under Windows
2000/NT. When the RSM service is disabled the element number for the drives
are 256-261.
5. I deleted the library, devclass, and stgpool definitions. The
customer wanted the library name to be LTO instead of lb6.0.0.5, so I used
the following definitions:
DEFINE LIBRARY LTO libtype=scsi device=lb6.0.0.5
DEFINE DRIVE LTO drive1 device=//./tape0 element=256
DEFINE DRIVE LTO drive2 device=//./tape1 element=257
DEFINE DRIVE LTO drive3 device=//./tape2 element=258
DEFINE DEVCLASS LTOCLASS1 devtype=LTO format=drive library=LTO
DEFINE STGPOOL LTOPOOL1 LTOCLASS1 maxscratch=500
6. I am now able to label, check in and check out tapes. A q libv shows
the home elements starting at 4096.
