 Updating Firmware 

The Administrative User can update firmware on the StorageLibrary if required.  The latest firmware 
versions for the library can be found on 

http://www.tandbergdata.com

, Support, choose 

StorageLibrary T40 under Tape Automation and download the firmware file to your computer. 

You can also regularly monitor the website for firmware updates, but you need to make sure that the 
firmware you download is compatible with your library and tape drives. 

There are two types of firmware that can be updated on the library: library firmware and tape drive 
firmware. This chapter explains how to update both the library firmware and the tape drive firmware. 

Updating Library Firmware 

With the Update Library Firmware command, you can install new library firmware from the remote 
management interface.  

 Caution 

If you choose to update tape drive firmware during this procedure, make sure that 
cartridges are not loaded in any of the tape drives. If cartridges are loaded in tape 
drives during the update process, the library loses knowledge of the cartridge 
home cell in storage, resulting in library and host inventory issues.  

Update the library application firmware using the following steps: 

1  Download Library Firmware. 

Access 

http://www.tandbergdata.com,

 

Support, choose StorageLibrary T40 under Tape 

Automation and download the firmware file to your computer. 

a.  From the home page, navigate to your product s firmware. 

b.  Verify with technical support or published Release Notes that you are selecting the correct 

firmware version to download. 

a.  Select the appropriate firmware version and download the files to your computer hard 

drive. 

2  Update Library Firmware. 

Update the library application firmware using the Library FW Upgrade command on the Tools > 
Maintenance menu from the remote management interface. 

a.  Browse to the firmware file that was downloaded in Step 1 and apply the selection.
