Install the IBM device driver for the following IBM devices: IBM 3494 library; IBM Ultrium 3580, TS2230, TS2340 tape drives; IBM 3581, 3582, 3583, 3584 tape libraries. The following publication contains additional information r elated to the IBM tape drive, medium changer, and library device drivers: American National Standards Institute Small Computer System Interface. Whilst using the drivers identified only by Windows were the “Unknown Medium Changer” and “IBM ULTRIUM 7 3580 TAPE DRIVE” drivers, which didn’t allow me to progress any further than before. I did have some screenshots to attach but it seems this account is to new for that.

Windows Removable Storage Manager Service

Ibm Ultrium Hh6 Tape Drive Drivers

If you are using the Windows native backup application (NTBackup), then it will be necessary to start the Removable Storage Manager service.

If you are not using the Windows native backup application, refer to your application’s installation instructions to check whether or not the Removable Storage Manager service should be disabled. In most cases it is best to disable the RSM service. While RSM is running, it may send commands to control the library and tape drive if device drivers are loaded. This may cause conflicts and failures with your backup application.

To disable the RSM service, click on the Windows Start button, Settings, Control Panel. In Control Panel double-click on Administrative Tools. In Administrative Tools, double-click on the Services icon. In Services, scroll down to find the Removable Storage service. Double-click to open its properties. Stop the service and then set Startup type to Disabled.

Tandberg Data Tool Driver Requirements

Tandberg Data provides software tools for troubleshooting and upgrading tape drives and libraries. The tools do not require driver installation for SCSI, FibreChannel or ATAPI devices. The tools do require driver installation for FireWire devices.

TapeDrive
SCSI interface:No driver required.
FibreChannel interface:No driver required.
ATAPI interface:No driver required.
FireWire interface:Driver required. Driver may be provided by Tandberg Data or other source.

Important! Stop or disable the Removable Storage Manager service and all backup application services before running the Tandberg Data tools. The commands sent by RSM or a backup application to control the tape drive or library may conflict with the tool functions resulting in failures.

Purpose of a Windows Driver

So, what’s the purpose of loading a Windows tape or library driver? The driver provides specific functions as defined by Microsoft. Each function defined in the driver sets up the appropriate commands to be sent to the tape drive or library. This allows a backup application to simply call the functions defined in the driver instead of putting together all of the necessary device commands. So if your backup application relies on these Microsoft-defined function calls, it will require that a driver be loaded.

Other backup applications, however, don’t use the driver function calls at all. Instead, these applications put together the necessary device commands themselves. These applications will not require a driver to be loaded.

Installing and Removing the Tandberg Data Windows Device Drivers

For instructions to install, update, or remove the Tandberg Data-provided Windows drivers, please refer to the readme file included in the driver download file. The Tandberg Data Windows drivers can be downloaded fromthe Downloads & Drivers, Support section of the website.
