From the time the tape is inserted and the drive handle is closed, updating the firmware
takes from 2 to 3 minutes.
7.3 Creating a "Firmware Update Tape"
To do the firmware update, you must have a CompacTape III cartridge with a copy of
the firmware image. This image must be byte-written onto the tape in a 4K block
format. The image must be "copied" onto the tape instead of using the backup utility.
7.3.1 On UN*X Systems
The FTP utility can be used to transfer the binary firmware image file onto the UN*X
system. Be sure to specify "type image" before doing the "get" or "put." Otherwise,
extra characters may be added to the file, causing the image file to be invalid. The
image file should be exactly 1152*512 bytes in size.
When making the update tape, copy the image file to the tape media using a block size
of 4096, that is dd, ltf, and so forth. The tape has to be uncompressed.
