Note: Only use this driver, if you do not plan to
use a back up software application such as Veritas, etc. This driver should only
be used with Windows as your backup solution.
The StorageTek SCSI Library Removable Storage Driver (RSM)
allows you to utilize StorageTek SCSI tape libraries natively
with the Windows 2000 Removable Storage Services.
StorageTek provides drivers for the entire range of the SCSI
libraries including the TimberWolf® 9730, 9738, 9740,
L20, L40,L80, L180 and L700 tape libraries. In addition, the
drivers can be used for products that are end-of-life (EOL)
, including the TimberWolf® 9710, 9714 and 7430 SCSI Library.
These StorageTek drivers have been certified for Windows 2000
by the Windows Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL). RSM driver for
Windows 2003 32bit and 64bit drivers only support the L20,
L40, L80, L180, and L700.
Note: The RSM driver is not currently compatible with
version 1.2 of the Library Manager operating on the L700 tape
library. If you have an L700 tape library with version 1.2
of Library Manager installed, the RSM driver will need to
be disabled using the "Disable" button.
To disable the RSM driver:
- Click Start --> Programs --> Adminstrative Tools
--> Computer Management --> Device Manager
- Click on Medium Changer (changer0)
- In the General page, set Device Usage to Disable
