Hi Bill, I would very much like to know version data for the Adpatec driver you are using.

The default driver delivered with Win2k has problems with LTO tape. I haven't seen reboot problems, but severe throughput issues to where I would only get 1-2GB/hour throughput on the tape drives. Updating to the Adaptec drivers (even though the Tivoli support pages say to use the IBM drivers) has gotten me to 1+GB/Minute throughput.

In my case it rebooted 1-2 times pr. day. I bugged me alot, but seemingly it was a problem with the SCSI Controller Driver on w2k. To fix this I made a database backup of TSM, and installed w2k from scratch, then installed the correct driver for the adapter-card (found on ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Win2000/adaptec_lun.zip), reinstalled TSM, and restored the TSM database. I haven't had the problems after that. Now, I don't think reinstalling OS should be necessary, but I believe the problem is something related to registry settings for device adpu160m (the adaptec controller), and when updating this driver, some settings still are in registry or some files exist that are not replaced when updating the driver. Another problem is that because the server goes down unexpectedly, TSM is likely to have a corrupted database, and when you get the server to run OK, you should do an AUDITDB on your tsm. (Oh my, this is slow...) The other option is to drop your database, and just do the full backup all over again. Hope this helps... Rgds. Geirr G.

During the setup of TSM and the full backup of a number of clients, the server has rebooted 6 times. There is no Dr. Watson or what so ever. In the TSM activity log there are also no errors written. You just retrieve the latest commands before the shutdown and afterwards the normal startup messages of TSM. Only in the event log, there is an event stating 'An unexpected system shutdown has occured'. No other errors or warnings in the event log. Has anybody else experienced a similar situation and how did you solve it? Any input is more then welcome. Thanks, Kurt
