Firmware for each type of 3592 Tape Drive (TS1140, TS1130, TS1120, and J1A) will
not work in any other 3592 Tape Drive.
You can update firmware for the 3592 tape drive without scheduling downtime.
This enhancement is called a
nondisruptive drive firmware update
. It is available
through the IBM System Storage Tape Library Specialist web interface and (for
IBM service representatives) through CETool, but is not supported by the Small
Computer System Interface (SCSI). For more information, go to the section about
updating drive firmware in the
IBM System Storage TS3500 Tape Library with ALMS
Operator Guide
.
