CAUTION:
•
If you are viewing a partition, drive firmware update operations affect drives that are within
the partition only.
•
Before you update drive firmware during this procedure, ensure 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.
To update drive firmware using firmware images:
