Function Code 2: Update drive firmware from FMR tape
About this task
Attention:
When updating drive firmware, do not power-off the drive until the
update is complete or the firmware might be lost. The primary firmware update
process requires update files. FMR tape updates should only be attempted if the
firmware files are not available, or not working. To download the primary
firmware update files, complete the following steps.
Note:
Changes are made periodically to the IBM website. The actual procedure
might vary slightly from what is described in this document.
1.
Go to http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/.
2.
In the
Search within all of support & downloads
text field at the bottom of
the screen, type
tape files
and press Enter.
3.
In the list of search results, click the link
Tape Files (index) - Software for tape
drives and libraries
.
Function Code
8
loads drive firmware from a field microcode replacement
(FMR) tape. The FMR tape must have been created from a LTO Gen4 tape drive
with the same host interface (SCSI U160, SCSI U320, SAS, or Fibre Channel).
Procedure
1.
Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see “Entering
Maintenance Mode” on page 18.
2.
Press the unload button once per second until
8
appears in the SCD. (If you
cycle past the desired code, press the unload button once per second until the
code reappears.)
3.
Press and hold the unload button for three or more seconds, then release it to
select the function. The SCD changes to a flashing
C
.
4.
Insert the FMR tape cartridge. The SCD changes to a flashing
8
. The tape
drive loads the updated firmware from the FMR tape into its erasable
programmable read-only memory (EPROM) area.
v
During the reboot, the SCD presents a series of random characters. The SCD
briefly displays
8
, then becomes blank (not lit) when POST is complete.
The status lights will be amber during the reboot and change to green after a
successful reboot.
v
If the update completes successfully, the tape drive rewinds and unloads the
FMR tape, resets itself, and is ready to use the new firmware. The drive
automatically reboots.
v
If the update fails, the tape drive posts an error code to the SCD. To
determine the error, locate the code in “Error codes and messages” on page
46. The drive then unloads the FMR tape and exits Maintenance Mode after
the cartridge is removed.
