From: Royce E Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >I am running v5.11 on a Compaq Evo laptop with Windows XP. We have a need for a "mobile" tsm solution from time to time. I am trying to talk to a single, manual, ADIC LTO200D drive. I had communications with the tape drive natively through windows, but even after I disable the media changer through the O/S, I can't get TSM to talk with the drive. I am using the IBM Ultrium drivers for the tape drive, but it is not working.
This configuration has worked for us in the past on a Thinkpad running Windows 2000 Professional. I believe this is a device driver issue with Windows XP. Is there anyway I can make the device driver work with Windows XP so I can move data to the ADIC drive or should I look for an Ultrium driver that works on XP or 2003 since 2003 has similarities to XP.< In answer to your question as to why W2KPro works and XP doesn't, check the server requirements page at http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=663&context=SSGSG7&q=windows&uid=swg21064234&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
