CHAPTER 5: Using Your Tape Drive
N
OTE
: The Firmware Upgrade will fail the microcode update
process if the firmware personalities do not match; this
will be noted in the history log, along with the reason for
the failure.
7.
Wait several minutes for the update process to complete. The Amber and
Green LEDs will blink the entire time that memory is being updated.
8.
When the update is complete, the drive resets itself and goes through POST.
The tape is rewound, unloaded, and ejected from the drive. SCSI status will
indicate that microcode has been updated (06h, 3F, 01).
N
OTE
: If the drive is mounted in a tape automation library, the
tape is not automatically ejected, but it is rewound to
BOT and unbuckled in preparation for unloading.
5.4.4 Troubleshooting the Firmware (Code) Update
Try these remedial actions if the drive’s firmware (code) update fails:
•
Updating the same revision
If a Code Update is requested and the code revision being updated is the same
as the code revision already in the unit, the system updates controller code but
not servo-specific code. The steps for this type of update are the same as for a
normal update.
•
Updating fails, which causes the drive to be reset; the problem can result from
any of the following circumstances:
!
Cartridge contains incompatible update image.
!
Cartridge does not contain an update image.
!
No cartridge in the drive.
