HP StoreEver ESL G3 Tape Libraries - Manual (Page 178)

Installing new library software
To update your library software, you must download a new library software package to the library
management control blade (MCB) from the remote client file system, and then install the downloaded
software. You can perform the library software update from either the library OCP or a remote
client, but you must perform the software download to the MCB from a remote client.
Some upgrades will not be download upgrades but instead CF (compact flash) swap upgrades.
NOTE: If you are accessing the LMC using the remote client application, be aware that after you
update the library software and after the library restarts, you will not be able to view the LMC from
the remote client application. You must update the client software to match the version of software
you installed on the library.
Downloading a new library software package
Before you install a new library software package, you must download the package to the library
MCB from the remote client file system. You must perform the download from a remote client.
