NOTE:

To release a magazine manually, see 

Releasing the magazines manually

 on page 162. However, only use

this manual process if the magazine cannot be released using the OCP or RMI.

Support

CAUTION:

Some RMI operations take the library offline. This inactive mode can interfere with host-based
application software, causing data loss. Ensure that the library is idle before attempting to perform any
remote operations that take it offline.

The Support > General Diagnostic page

Use the 

Support > General Diagnostic

 page to run general tests to verify the usability and reliability of the

device. Select the test and enter the number of test cycles before starting the test. To cancel the test early,
click on the 

Stop

 button.

Figure 55: Support > General Diagnostic page

The available tests are:

• Demo — moves cartridges from the slots to the drives and back. At the end of the test, the cartridges are

returned to their original slots.

• Slot to slot — shuffles the cartridges between slots to exercise the robot. At the end of the test, the

cartridges are NOT returned to their original slots.

The demo and slot to slot test are intended to show the device operating. For service and diagnostics,
execute the wellness test from the OCP. See 

The wellness test

 on page 163.

The Support > Service page— Service restricted

This page is only available for the Service user. This page provides access to specialized tests and
diagnostics.

The Support > Firmware page

Use the 

Support > Firmware

 page to see the current version of the device and drive firmware, and upload

new firmware. After the firmware is updated, the device or tape drive with updated firmware is reset.

The firmware files must be in the L&TT format with the 

.frm

 file extension.

CAUTION:

Do not interrupt the library while a firmware update is in progress. Updating the tape drive firmware can
take several minutes because the firmware is transferred through a serial connection.

The library only supports signed firmware image upgrades and downgrades. Once firmware that uses code
signing is loaded, the firmware will reject all unsigned images. If you attempt to load an unsigned firmware
image, the RMI displays an invalid firmware version error message:
