If necessary, upgrade the library and drive firmware using L&TT, the RMI, or a USB flash
drive.
NOTE:
If you are upgrading a parallel SCSI drive, be sure to use supported cabling
configurations. See
“Planning the SCSI configuration” (page 25)
.
NOTE:
Use L&TT to upgrade the drive to the latest firmware. You can download the latest
version of L&TT at:
http://www.hpe.com/support/TapeTools
.
NOTE:
The library assigns the WWNames used by Fibre Channel drives to the drive locations.
When you replace a tape drive, the WWName is re-assigned to the replacement drive.
The library assigns SAS World Wide IDs to the drive locations. When you replace a SAS tape
drive, the World Wide ID is re-assigned to the replacement drive.
Removing and replacing a magazine
CAUTION:
Only remove a magazine manually in an emergency or if you need to remove the
magazines from both sides of the device. Failure to follow normal procedure can cause data loss
and equipment damage.
If possible, the magazines should be released using the OCP or RMI. Hewlett Packard Enterprise
recommends releasing the magazines using the OCP or RMI; however, if the OCP process fails,
or if a magazine needs to be removed when the power to the device is off, you can release the
magazines manually.
TIP:
The MSL4048, MSL8048, and MSL8096 have multiple magazines on each side. The
library will release all of the magazines on a side at the same time. If you want to remove more
than one magazine from a side, pull the magazines that need to be removed out a few centimeters
or inches immediately after the library releases them. You can then remove the magazines from
the library one at a time.
