The installation process consists of the following steps:
1. Verify that the prerequisites have been satisfied.
2. Install the SCSI or FC adapter.
3. Install the SCSI or FC adapter device driver.
4. Connect the TotalStorage/Magstar or Ultrium device to the adapter.
5. Power On the TotalStorage/Magstar or Ultrium device.
6. Reboot the system.
7. Create an emergency repair disk (optional) using the following procedure:
a. SelectStart,Help, andFindfrom the Windows NT desktop.
c. SelectUsing the Repair Disk utility to make an emergency repair disk.
d. ClickDisplay, then follow the instructions to make an emergency repair disk (ERD).
Note: Refer to “Software Requirements” on page 165. This step is highly recommended.
8. Install the TotalStorage/Magstar or Ultrium tape device driver.
Installation Procedure
To install the device drivers, follow this procedure:
1. Log on as Administrator.
2. Download the appropriate driver from the IBM Device Drivers FTP site, which is located at ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/Windows/ WinNT.
v For TotalStorage or Magstar tape devices, selectIBMMag.WinNT.exe v For Ultrium tape devices, selectIBMUltrium.WinNT.exe
3. Go to the directory in which you saved the .exe file and double click it.
4. Follow theInstallShielddirections to install the package.
a. If you selectcompactinstallation, the program copies the system files of the latest IBM TotalStorage/Magstar or Ultrium Device Driver (Device Driver System Filescomponent) to the system directories. This provides the latest support necessary for TotalStorage or Magstar devices.
Note: This option overwrites previous versions of the
TotalStorage/Magstar or Ultrium device driver installed on your system.
b. If you selecttypicalinstallation, all support included in thecompact
installation is done. Also, theDevice Driver Depotcomponent is installed, which includes copying all available versions included in the InstallShield package to a user defined directory.
Note: This option overwrites any previous versions of the
TotalStorage/Magstar or Ultrium device driver installed on your system.
c. If you selectcustominstallation, the program allows you to select the components to install. Refer toFigure 16 on page 167.
TheDevice Driver Depotcomponent includes the most recent versions of the device drivers. If you install this component, you are able to select which versions of the device drivers to install.
TheDocumentation component copies the PDF version of theInstallation and User’s Guideand theProgramming Referenceto your hard drive.
TheDevice Driver System Filescomponent copies all the files needed for device driver support to the system directory.
5. After you have completed installing the device driver, enable the driver. Click
Start, move toSettings, then clickControl Panel. Refer to Figure 17 on page 168.
6. Double-clickTape Devices. If the TotalStorage/Magstar or Ultrium tape or changer device was already powered On and attached to the system during boot up, the devices should appear in the box, and Windows NT should start to generate the driver list. Refer to Figure 18.
If Microsoft Windows NT did not detect the attached TotalStorage or Magstar device, clickDetectto select the device, and Microsoft Windows NT rescans the bus. Refer to Figure 19.
Figure 17. Start Menu
Figure 18. Creating Driver List
If you still cannot see the device, ensure that the cable is attached properly. Also, ensure that the device is terminated properly, the device is powered On, and the adapter driver is enabled.
If you have more than one IBM TotalStorage/Magstar or Ultrium device attached on the same host system, the operating system prompts multiple times for the same driver.Cancelthe multiple driver installation requests.
Click Drivers, then clickAdd.... Refer to Figure 21 on page 170.
7. If you installed the Device Driver System Filescomponent in step 4 on page 166, skip to step 8 on page 171. If you did not install Device Driver System Files component, clickHave Disk, then enter the directory where your device driver setup file (IBMUltrium.inforIBMMagstar.inf) is located in the box labeledCopy manufacturer’s files from:. You can alsoBrowse...to select the directory. Refer to Figure 22 on page 171.
8. Click IBM Corporation, select the device driver that matches your device, then clickOK. Refer to Figure 23 on page 172.
Note: If you are using both a tape drive and a medium changer (as you would find in a tape library, for example), select one of theIBM Tape Libraries. This installs drivers for both the medium changer and the tape drives.
9. If you installed the Device Driver System Filescomponent in step 4 on page 166, Windows NT might ask the question shown in Figure 24. ClickYes, then skip to step 11. If your system prompts you foribmtape.sysorMagstar.sys, browse to select the drivers directory (c:\winnt\system32\drivers). The system may also prompt you forntutil.exe. Browse to the system32 directory
(c:\winnt\system32).
Note: See “Microsoft Windows System - Utility Program (ntutil)” on page 406 for information on thentutilapplication.
10. If youdid notinstall theDevice Driver System Filescomponent in step 4 on page 166, click Noto the question in step 9. The operating system prompts you for the location of the driver files.
11. Reboot the operating system to start the drivers.
Removal Procedure
The Windows NT tape and medium changer device drivers manage all TotalStorage/Magstar or Ultrium devices and changers exclusively. If you use applications that have their own device drivers that access TotalStorage/Magstar,
