TS3400 Tape Library Maintenance Information
To download microcode to these devices, perform the following steps:
1.
Verify that the IBM tape subsystem is powered ON and online.
2.
Verify that the tape drive does not currently have a tape cartridge loaded.
3.
Verify that the drive is not in use by another host.
4.
Determine the current version of microcode present on the device by entering the
following command, substituting
n
with the actual value from the device special
file associated with the target device:
/opt/IBMtape/tapeutil -f /dev/rmt/
n
m -o qmc -v
5.
Determine the source of the new microcode image file (that is, the host file such
as /tmp/ucode_image.file).
6.
Enter the following command, substituting
file
with the actual path and
filename of the microcode image file, and substituting
n
with the actual value
from the device special file associated with the destination device:
/opt/IBMtape/tapeutil -f /dev/rmt/
n
m -o dmc -v -z
file
Note:
The microcode download procedure may also be performed by using the
menu-driven interface of the tapeutil program. To invoke the tapeutil program
in this format, enter the following command, then choose option 1 to open the
device, followed by option 4 to query the current device microcode level, and
option 7 to download new microcode.
/opt/IBMtape/tapeutil
Updating Microcode from HP-UX System using TAPEUTIL
Refer to
IBM SCSI Tape Drive, Medium Changer, and Library Device Drivers: Installation
and User’s Guide
for details of the
tapeutil
program in the HP-UX system.
You may require assistance from the customer during this process.
The tape drive supports downloading a new microcode image from the host system.
This procedure downloads microcode to the tape drive from a file or diskette. This
diskette must be in AIX/UNIX format.
To download microcode to these devices, perform the following steps:
1.
Verify that the IBM tape subsystem is powered ON and online.
2.
Verify that the tape drive does not currently have a tape cartridge loaded.
3.
Verify that the drive is not in use by another host.
4.
Determine the current version of microcode present on the device by entering the
following command, substituting
n
with the actual value from the device special
file associated with the target device:
/opt/IBMtape/tapeutil -f /dev/rmt/
n
st -o qmc -v
5.
Determine the source of the new microcode image file (that is, the host file such
as /tmp/ucode_image.file).
6.
Enter the following command, substituting
file
with the actual path and
filename of the microcode image file, and substituting
n
with the actual value
from the device special file associated with the destination device:
/opt/IBMtape/tapeutil -f /dev/rmt/
n
