This driver will be installed in the IBM LTO directory. 2.0 Change History: Version Description ------- ----------- 6.0. 3.0.1.0 Added EM64T support ------ 3.0 Installation and setup: This section describes a procedure for installing or updating a Windows 2000, Server 2003 tape device driver for the IBM DAT tape drive. The procedure assumes previous tape drive hardware installation. That is, the tape drive is connected to a controller appropriate for the tape drive model. In addition, the drive must be powered. Login with administrator privilege. For Windows 2000/2003, the 'Found New Hardware Wizard' may appear on the first boot after tape drive hardware is connected. In this case, skip directly to either the 'Windows 2000 Hardware Wizard' or 'Windows 2003 Hardware Wizard' section below. Otherwise -- 1. Right click on 'My Computer', then select 'Properties'. 2. In 'System Properties', click the 'Hardware' tab. 3. In 'System Properties', click the 'Driver Signing' button. 4. In 'Driver Signing Options', select either the 'Warn' or 'Ignore' radio button. (The driver may not install if 'Block' is selected.) 5. Click 'OK' to close the 'Driver Signing Options' dialog. 6. In 'System Properties', click the 'Device Manager' button. 7. In 'Device Manager', open one of these tree branches -- 'Other devices' (the driver is not yet installed), or 'Tape drives' (the driver was previously installed), and find the IBM DLTTape identifier. For example: 'IBM ULTRIUM-TD1 SCSI Sequential Device'. Right click the above identifier, then select Properties. Note. If the tape drive identifier is not present, Windows likely did not detect the drive during boot. Power down the system and verify the power and data cables are correctly oriented and securely connected. Also if two or more devices are attached to the SCSI bus ribbon cable, verify that the device's SCSI IDs do not conflict (see SCSI Hardware Configuration). You may be able to verify whether the BIOS is detecting the tape drive by enabling and observing the BIOS's hardware detection display during system boot. 8. In 'IBM ULTRIUM-TD1 SCSI Sequential Device Properties', select the 'Driver' tab, then click the 'Update Driver...' button. Proceed to either the 'Windows 2000 Hardware Wizard' or 'Windows 2003 Hardware Wizard' section below as appropriate. Windows 2000 Hardware Wizard ---------------------------- 9. In 'Found New Hardware Wizard' or 'Upgrade Device Driver Wizard', 'Welcome' ..., click 'Next'. 10. In 'Install Hardware Device Drivers', select the top radio button -- (x) Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended), then click 'Next' 11. In 'Locate Device Drivers', check the appropriate box -- [ ] Floppy disk drives -- if the IBM driver files are on floppy, then insert the driver floppy, or [ ] CD-ROM drives -- if the IBM driver files are on CD, then insert the driver CD, or [ ] Specify a location -- if the IBM driver files are on your hard disc or a network server. then click 'Next'. 12. If you see a sub-dialog with the prompt -- 'Copy manufacturer's files from:', type the full pathname of the folder containing magtape.inf, then click 'OK'. Note: One way to locate the folder containing the file magtape.inf, is to right click 'Start', select 'Search...' then 'Look in: My Computer' for the file 'magtape.inf'. 13. In 'Driver Files Search Results'... If you see the following check box at the bottom of the dialog, '[x] Install one of the other drivers' then check it, then click 'Next'. Otherwise, if no check box appears, you should see 'Windows found a driver for this device...' \magtape.inf', then click 'Next', and skip to step 15. 14. In 'Driver Files Found', select (click to highlight) the driver -- 'IBM DLT(magtape.sys)' then click 'Next'. 15. In 'Completing the Found New/Upgrade Device Driver Wizard', you should see 'The wizard has finished installing the software for: IBM DLT(magtape.sys)', then click 'Finish'. Windows 2003 Hardware Wizard ------------------------------- 9. In 'Found New Hardware Wizard' or 'Hardware Update Wizard': 'Welcome ...', select BOTTOM radio button -- (x) Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) then click 'Next' 10. In 'Please choose your search and installation options.' select the BOTTOM radio button -- (x) Don't search. I will chose the driver to install. then click 'Next'. 11. If the 'Hardware Type.' dialog appears, select 'Tape drives' near the end of the list, then click 'Next'. 12. In 'Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware', click the 'Have Disk...' button. 13. In 'Install From Disk' 'Copy manufacturer's files from:', type the floppy disk drive letter (e.g., A:\), or the full pathname of the folder containing magtape.inf, then click 'OK'. Note: Optionally, 'Browse' can be used to select the folder containing the file magtape.inf. One way to locate the folder containing magtape.inf, is to right click 'Start', select 'Search...' then 'Look in: My Computer' for the file magtape.inf. 14. Now back in 'Select the device driver you want to install ...' select (click to highlight) the driver -- 'IBM DLT(magtape.sys)', then click 'Next'. 15. If you see the dialog -- 'Hardware Installation ! The software you are installing for this hardware IBM DLT(magtape.sys) has not passed Windows Logo testing ...' click 'Continue Anyway'. 16. The wizard then shows 'Please wait while the wizard installs the software ...' and proceeds to install the driver. 17. In 'Completing the Found New/Update Hardware Wizard', you should see 'The wizard has completed installing the software for: IBM DLT(magtape.sys)' then click 'Finish'. 4.0 Configuration Information: If the driver is being re-installed or updated you may be asked to reboot for the driver to take effect. Otherwise no reboot should be needed. The IBM DLTtape drive is now installed and ready to use. Windows 2000 and Server 2003 uses two programs to manage tape backups -- 'Removable Storage Manager' and 'Backup'. Note: Windows XP Home does not currently supply a tape backup application. Removable Storage Manager, at a lower level, recognizes removable storage devices (such as tape drives) and their media (such as tapes). Removable Storage Manager maintains a data base of tapes which is organized by 'allocating' tapes to various media 'pools'. The Backup program, at a higher level, backs up and restore system files. Backup uses services of Removable Storage Manager to gain access to tapes. To verify that Removable Storage Manager has recognized the tape drive -- Right click 'My Computer' and select 'Manage'. In 'Computer Management', follow the tree Computer Management (local) - Storage - Removable Storage -> - Physical Locations [for Windows 2000], - Libraries [for Windows XP, Server 2003], In this tree, you should see an entry similar to: 'IBM DDS Gen5 SCSI Sequential Device'. For help on on Removable Storage, click the help icon and open the 'Removable Storage' book. For Windows 2000, XP Professional (not XP Home), or Server 2003, you can use the Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Backup applet to verify correct tape drive operation. There are two sections: General Items and HBA Restrictions ***************** * General Items * ***************** 1) Beginning with version 3.0.1.0 the DLTTape.sys device drivers have been converged for usage with for all versions of Windows 2000, XP, and Windows 2003.
