Windows 2016, 2019 and 2022 instructions

1. Quiesce all activity on the tape and medium changer.
2. Exit all applications that are using the tape and medium changer devices.
3. If the driver is installed, complete the Uninstall the devices procedure that is described in a previous section.
4. Locate the \checked folder for the device driver level that you are running. This folder is in the highest level directory of the driver package. It contains checked versions of the tape and medium changer device drivers.
   1. on Windows Server 2016. ibmtpxxyyy.sys, and ibmcgxxyyy.sys, where:
      1. xx = ft for the filter driver, bs for the bus driver, or blank for the base driver
      2. yyyy = 2k16. It also has the .inf and .cat files.
   2. on Windows Server 2019 and on Windows Server 2022. ibmtpxx.sys, and ibmcgxx.sys, where:
      1. xx = ft for the filter driver, bs for the bus driver, or blank for the base driver. It also has the .inf and .cat files.
5. Copy all the files from the \checked folder to the highest level directory of the driver package, overwriting the files in there. A previous backup of the files or having a copy of the original driver package is recommended.
6. Start Dbgview.exe to capture debug messages. Dbgview can be downloaded from the Microsoft website. Make sure that Capture Kernel, Enable Verbose Kernel Output, and Capture Events are checked at the Capture menu.
7. Complete the Installation procedure.
8. Issue commands to the driver. You see debug messages on Dbgview from IBMTpBus, IBMCgBus, tape, or mcd. For example, you might see IBMTpBus: ENT: tag output. If you do not see something similar, an error might have happened during the checked driver installation or no driver activity might have occurred.
