Initiating Tape Drive
Firmware Autoleveling
Autoleveling occurs automatically at specific times (whenever a tape
drive is added, replaced, or power cycled; or when the library is
rebooted). If you upload or remove tape drive firmware separately from
library firmware (such as a Quantum-provided upgrade or patch) and
want to autolevel the tape drives immediately, follow these steps:
1
Unload tape cartridges from all tape drives you want to autolevel.
2
Stop all host commands to the tape drives you want to autolevel.
3
Initiate autoleveling by performing one of the following actions:
•
Reset (power cycle) the tape drives
on which you want to
install firmware. This autolevels only the tape drives you reset.
For instructions, see
Resetting a Tape Drive
on page 260.
•
Restart the library.
This verifies and autolevels all tape drives.
(From the Web client, select
Operations > System Shutdown
.
Select
Restart
and click
Apply
. See
Restarting the Library
on
page 109 for more information.)
The operator panel displays a message indicating autoleveling is
taking place. The firmware install/autolevel takes about 7 minutes in
addition to whatever time it takes to complete the process you
chose above. If the install or autolevel fails, you receive a diagnostic
ticket.
4
Wait until autoleveling is complete before resuming host
commands. To make sure autoleveling is complete, check the system
information report to see if the tape drive firmware is installed on all
intended tape drives. From the Web client, select
Reports > System
Information.
