Updating Drive Firmware Using Firmware Images
CAUTION:
If you are viewing a partition, drive firmware update operations affect drives that are within the
partition only.
CAUTION:
Before you update drive firmware during this procedure, make sure that tapes are not mounted in
any of the drives. If tapes are mounted in drives during the update process, the library loses knowledge
of the cartridge home cell in storage, resulting in library and host inventory issues.
If you load a firmware image onto a drive that is the same version that is currently running on the
drive, the upgrade will fail.
If host reservations exist on drives, remove them prior to initiating drive code changes.
