Figure 59 Support > HPE Service page
Determining and updating firmware
Use the
Support > Firmware page
to see the current version of the device and drive firmware,
and upload new firmware. The firmware files must be in the L&TT format with the .frm file
extension. You can find firmware files on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support website at
http://www.hpe.com/support
. After the firmware is updated, the device or tape drive with updated
firmware is reset.
CAUTION:
Do not interrupt the device while a firmware update is in progress. Updating the
tape drive firmware can take several minutes because the firmware is transferred through a serial
connection.
The library only supports signed firmware image upgrades and downgrades. Once firmware that
uses code signing is loaded, the firmware will reject all unsigned images. If you attempt to load
an unsigned firmware image, the RMI displays an invalid firmware version error message:
If you see this message, download the latest signed firmware image from the MSL website at
http://www.hpe.com/info/msl
