Chapter 7: Updating Firmware
Upgrading Library Firmware
162
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Navigate to the appropriate firmware version and download the file to
your computer hard drive. Library firmware comes bundled with tape
drive firmware, firmware update instructions, and release notes. Verify
with the release notes or technical support that you are updating the
library with the correct version of firmware. For technical support
contact information, see
Getting More Information or Help
on
page xxiv.
Before updating library firmware, it is recommended to capture the
library snapshot. The library snapshot file saves status information and
trace logs for library components. This information helps technical
support troubleshoot issues that might occur with the firmware
upgrade. For more information, see
Capturing the Library Snapshot
on
page 247. In addition, it is recommended to save the library
configuration before upgrading the library (in case the upgrade fails)
and again after the upgrade successfully completes. For more
information, see
Saving the Library Configuration
on page 101.
When you upgrade or downgrade library firmware, the library also
autolevels tape drive firmware, if needed. Autoleveling will not occur if
a tape drive has a cartridge loaded in it. Make sure to unload all tape
drives before updating library firmware. See
Updating and Autoleveling
Tape Drive Firmware
on page 164.
The library automatically restarts after the firmware update is complete.
Before logging into the library, clear the Web browser cache. See your
Web browser's documentation for instructions on how to clear the
cache.
Caution:
After the update process starts, you must wait until it
completes. Do not attempt to interrupt the process in any
way, and do not power cycle the library. Loss of data or
library operability could occur.
Note: If you downgrade library firmware
to an earlier version using
the firmware upgrade process, library configuration settings
will be reset to the factory defaults (see
Resetting Factory
Defaults
on page 261). You must manually reconfigure your
library’s settings.
You can only update firmware from the Web client.
