IBM Tape Drivers

Question

Hi All, Does anyone know where I can find Drivers for IBM LTO4 devices for Windows 2008 R2 ? Windows 2008 server does come with supported drivers for the tape devices, It does recognise that I have IBM drives attached. However the drivers are giving me problems, and I want to try to use IBM specific drivers. I have tried installing IBM drivers 6.1.9.6 on the backup server, but it says that the latest drivers are currently installed. I think that the drivers I want to install is either not supported by Windows 2008, because all my Windows 2003 storage nodes are using these drivers. Thanks & Regards

We will be Implementing the Persistant Binding at a later stage. First want to see  if IBM specific drivers will help.

Thanks I found the correct drivers I needed

Persistent binding can actually be done using the IBM driver software. I downloaded version 6.2.0.9 and it actually tells you how you can use the software to enable persistent binding.
