Updating firmware
Attention:
When updating firmware, do not power-off the drive until the update
is complete, or the firmware may be lost.
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that this drive has the latest firmware.
Periodically check for updated levels of drive firmware by visiting the web at
http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral
. Update drive firmware using:
v
The host interface
v
The ITDT tool
v
A field microcode replacement (FMR) tape cartridge
v
The ethernet interface
For instructions on obtaining a new firmware image, visit
. To update the firmware, refer to the following sections.
Updating Firmware through the Host Interface
When updating drive firmware by using the host interface, the procedure varies
depending on whether your server uses an IBM tape device driver or a non-IBM
tape device driver (such as a driver from Sun, Hewlett-Packard, or Microsoft).
For instructions about updating firmware from a server that uses an IBM tape
device driver, refer to the
IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide
.
To update firmware from a server that uses a non-IBM tape device driver, refer to
the documentation for that device driver.
ITDT firmware update, dump retrieval and library/drive test tool
ITDT is a tool with multiple functional capability and is a very quick, convenient,
and efficient method for both drive and library firmware updates. As a note, both
drive and library dump retrievals can be performed by the tool as well.
Below are some of the capabilities of this tool:
v
Firmware update capability to all IBM LTO Tape Drive and Tape Library
products.
v
The tool does not require any special device drivers.
v
The tool is available for most major platforms (Windows, AIX
®
, Solaris, Linux,
HP-UX, i5/OS).
v
The tool is capable of uploading drive and library dump files.
v
The tool's primary function is thoroughly testing a drive. However, if the library
is online to the server/host where the tool resides, ITDT will communicate with
the drive through the library to load and unload a test cartridge thereby
exercising some library functions.
