Updating Drive Firmware
One way to update drive firmware is using the Firmware Update command. This method requires
a Firmware Upgrade Tape (FUP tape). To get a FUP tape, contact ATAC. (If you have an LTO
library, you may be able to create your own FUP tape, see Creating or Erasing a FUP Tape on
page 9-66.)
Alternatively, you can update firmware with the RMU or with the Firmware and Diagnostics Tool.
Path: Main menu > Command > Drives > Firmware Update
To update drive firmware with a FUP tape
1. From the Main menu, select Command and then select Drives. Select Firmware Update.
2. Place the FUP tape into slot A1A (the top mailbox slot). Select OK.
The library performs a TEACH and INVENTORY. The available drives and firmware levels for
each drive are displayed.
3. Select the drive(s) you want to update using Change Drive and Unselect. (All drives are
automatically selected, you must unselect the drives that you do not want to update).
Drives that will be updated are indicated with a checkmark.
4. Select OK.
The picker gets the FUP tape and puts it in the first selected drive. After that drive is updated,
the picker places it into the next drive until all selected drives are updated. When complete, the
picker puts the FUP tape back into slot 1A1.
5. When finished, select OK.
Creating or Erasing a FUP Tape
If you have an LTO library, you can create or erase Firmware Upgrade (FUP) tapes.
Path: Main menu > More > Service > Drives > (select drive) > FMR Tape
To create or erase a FUP tape
1. From the Main menu, select More. Select Service and then select Drives.
2. In the Drive field, specify the drive whose firmware you want to copy by selecting Change Drive
until the desired drive is displayed.
3. Select FMR Tape.
4. Use Change to select Create or Erase. Select OK.
