Has this been tested?

The current version of Firestreamer (4.0) is fully compatible with Microsoft DPM 2012.

Glad to hear that.
I"m assuming I can perform and in place upgrade with DPM. Will I need to do anything to Firestreamer?

No, you don't need to do anything with Firestreamer.

Hi, i just upgraded my clients to DPM 2012, all appears OK, i just needed to make some changes to my auto load script. Al follows.


$DPMPath ='c:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\'

CD $dpmPath

DpmCliInitScript.ps1 | out-null

$DPMLib = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "SERVERNAME"


cd
Cd scripts

Unlock-DPMLibraryDoor -DPMLibrary $DPMLib[X] -Confirm:$false

$ctl = New-Object -com Firestreamer.Controller
$ctl.Connect()

$libraryNumber = 1
$file = "d:\mediamap.fsmap"

$ctl.ChangerLoadMediaFromFile( $libraryNumber, $file )


lock-DPMLibraryDoor -DPMLibrary $DPMLibX] -Confirm:$false

Will see if it caused less problems with the newer DPM!

Thank you for your feedback.

Which problems did you experience before?

I have had a lot of problems with taps being cleaning tapes. I think a lot of it was due to the client not changing drives, and just DPM being an ass. It's looking good ATM tho.

OK, thank you. We are working on a script that monitors drive changes and updates the media map automatically.

this one works a treat. I have it running as a shedualed task every hour. it has removed all of the tape drive issues, appart from users not chaning the drive and "All tapes being full"
