to use to update the drives you selected.
CAUTION:
The drop-down list includes all drive firmware images that are currently stored on the library,
regardless of drive type. Be careful to select a drive firmware image that is compatible with the
type of drive that you want to update. See the current library release notes for compatibility
information or contact HP technical support at

NOTE:
The library automatically logs off other users so that they cannot perform library operations while
the drive firmware update operation is in progress.
The library updates the firmware on each selected drive.
Updating Drive Firmware Using Update Tapes
It is important to verify that the library firmware version is compatible with the new drive firmware
version. To determine the appropriate drive firmware, see the library Release Notes or contact HP
technical support. If you need to update drive firmware by using update tapes, perform the following
procedure.
NOTE:
If you are viewing a partition, drive firmware update operations affect drives that are within the
partition only, and uses the I/E slots within the partition. If you are viewing the physical library, drive
firmware update operations affect all drives.
