Disable the Windows device driver for tapes. ADSMSCSI driver is run before native Windows driver and is grabbing the drives. Windows driver is run when plug-n-pray detects a change.

One of my TSM servers is running on Win2K Server. The server is connected to a Brocade FC switch and the FC switch is connected to an FC-SCSI bridge. The library is an HP SureStore 6/60 with DLT8000 drives. Every once in a while I get I/O error on a tape drive and the server resets the drive. When it does the drive renames from the TSM Driver name to the NT Driver name (i.e. from mtx.x.x.x to \\..\tape0 <\\..\tape0> ). Has anyone else had this sort of problem and what did you do to resolve it? Thanks, Eric W.
