Using an Image File to Update Tape Drive Firmware
The web client allows you to update tape drive firmware using a firmware image file. Note that updating tape
drive firmware using an image file is a lengthy process, taking up to 90 minutes for each tape drive.
Tape drive firmware is available at the Tandberg Data Support website at www.tandberg.com. You can
navigate to your product’s firmware from the home page. Select the appropriate firmware version and
download the file to your computer hard drive. The Tandberg Data Support website provides information
that can help you to verify that the library is running the appropriate level of tape drive firmware, compatible
with the tape drive type.
Note that you cannot use a SCSI firmware image to update tape drive firmware on a FC tape drive and vice
versa. Each tape drive interface type requires unique firmware.
The library allows you to update firmware on multiple tape drives at one time. Update firmware on all tape
drives of the same interface type at the same time to make sure that all drives are at the same firmware
level. Having different levels of drive firmware in the library is not recommended.
If the affected partition is online, it will be taken offline before the firmware update operation is performed,
and brought back online after it is completed. You will be asked to confirm that you want to take the partition
offline.
Update tape drive firmware using the following steps:
1
On the web client, select
Tools
>
Drive Operations
.
A screen listing drive management operations appears.
2
Select the option to update drive firmware using an image file.
CAUTION
Before you update tape drive firmware, make sure that cartridges are
not loaded in any tape drives. If cartridges are loaded in tape drives
during the update process, the library loses knowledge of the
cartridges' storage slot location, resulting in library and host
application inventory issues.
CAUTION
Do not turn off power to the library during the update process.
Turning off power to the library during the update can cause
problems with the library.
Note
This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrative
users. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes
while another administrative user is performing the same operation.
