HP StoreEver TapeAssure Software - Manual (Page 34)

Many of the utility functions are device-specific and intended only to remedy specific problems
that may occur with a particular device. The SCSI utility scripts (files with a .scc extension) are
stored in the scripts directory.
CAUTION:
Using a script improperly or when it is not required can cause harm—possibly rendering a device
inoperable. Do not attempt to use these utility functions unless you are very familiar with SCSI
operation, or you have been advised to do so by a technical support representative or a Device
Analysis script.
To use a utility function with the Windows version of L&TT:
1. Select Run Script from the Utilities menu to display the Run Script dialog.
2. In the Devices section, click the check box next to the device on which you want to run the
script. The device logical name is now assigned.
3. Click Browse to select a script file to execute. The utility scripts are located in the scripts
directory and have an .scc extension.
4. Select a script and click Open to return to the Run Script dialog.
5. Click Run Script.
When the script has completed, the Script Output and Script Execution Log text boxes display
relevant information.
Managing firmware
The firmware management functionality of L&TT provides a convenient way to easily upgrade the
firmware of connected devices. Library firmware and firmware of drives within the libraries can
be upgraded as well.
L&TT uses special firmware files that associate the firmware with a particular product. This feature
prevents the user from downloading the wrong image and ensures that the downloaded firmware
is the same as, or a newer revision of, the current device firmware.
CAUTION: Do not use L&TT to update firmware on a tape library or devices within a tape library
that is managed with HP StorageWorks Command View for Tape Libraries Software (Command
View TL). Firmware update operations for these devices must be performed using Command View
TL, as documented in the HP StorageWorks Interface Manager and Command View for Tape
Libraries Software user guide. If L&TT is used to update firmware on a managed library, the
management station will be out of sync with the actual firmware revision number and will report
a firmware mismatch. Furthermore, if you attempt to use L&TT to update firmware on a partitioned
library, L&TT reports an invalid command error.
Accessing firmware revision and release note information via the Web
To verify that you have the latest firmware revision for a device, or to learn about the changes
between your current revision and the latest revision, use the Get Files from Web feature of L&TT.
To access firmware revision and release note information from the L&TT application (Windows):
1.
In the L&TT main screen, click File > Get Files From Web, or click the Firmware button on the
menu bar, select the Local Firmware Files tab, and then click Get Firmware From Web. The
Get Files From Web window opens.
2. To view the latest firmware revisions for devices on your system, or for all devices, click the
Firmware tab, and then select the appropriate option.
3. To view release note information, click the product ID of the firmware file whose information
you want to view, and then click Details. If release notes are available, they are displayed in
the File Details window.
