Chapter 11 Updating Library and Tape Drive Firmware

Upgrading Tape Drive Firmware

Scalar i500 User’s Guide 282

Using an Image File to

Upgrade Tape Drive

Firmware 11

The Web client allows you to upgrade tape drive firmware using a

firmware image file. The firmware upgrade can take up to 40 minutes

(less if the upgrade is performed using FC I/O blades).

Tape drive firmware is available from Quantum Support. Verify with the

release notes or Quantum Technical Support that you are updating the

tape drives with the correct version of firmware.

Details on using an image file to upgrade tape drive firmware include:

• The library allows you to upgrade firmware on multiple tape drives

at one time. Upgrade 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.

• Each tape drive interface type requires unique firmware. The image

file must contain the appropriate SCSI, FC, or Serial Attached SCSI

(SAS) firmware image for the corresponding SCSI, FC or SAS drive

type.

• The tape drive and associated partition are automatically taken

offline during the operation and brought back online when the

operation completes. You will be asked to confirm that you want to

take the tape drive and partition offline.

Instructions for upgrading tape drive firmware can be found in the online

help and at:

http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/SoftwareandDocument

ationDownloads/SI500/Index.aspx.. You can also find step-by-step

instructions in your library’s online Help. To access the online Help

system, click the

Help icon at the top right of the Web client or operator

panel user interface.

Note: If the operation does not complete successfully, the

partition remains offline until you turn it back online

manually or restart the library (see T

aking a Partition

Online or Offline on page 76).

Caution: Since tape drives restart after a firmware upgrade, make

sure that cartridges are not loaded in the applicable tape

drives before upgrading firmware.
