Updating and Autoleveling Tape Drive Firmware
The library firmware contains baseline tape drive firmware image that
Quantum has validated. Tape drive firmware is installed at the same
time as library firmware. (You can also install upgrades or patches
separately, which is described in the sections below.)
In addition, the library is equipped with a tape drive autoleveling
feature, that automatically updates firmware on all installed tape drives,
keeping all tape drives of the same type at the same firmware level.
About Tape Drive
Firmware Autoleveling
Tape drive firmware is verified on these occasions:
• whenever a tape drive is added, replaced, or power cycled, or
• when the library is rebooted.
If the firmware installed on the tape drive does not match the tape drive
firmware installed on the library, the tape drive firmware is autoleveled.
Tape drive firmware is also autoleveled when library firmware is updated
(see
Upgrading Library Firmware
on page 161).
Details about Autoleveling include:
• The autoleveling feature is always enabled.
• The library firmware contains baseline tape drive firmware image
that Quantum has validated. You cannot delete any of the baseline
tape drive firmware images. You may, however, upload separate
