Alternatively, you can update firmware with the RMU.
Updating Drive Firmware
One way to update drive firmware is to use the Firmware Update command. This method requires a
Firmware Upgrade Tape (FUP tape). To get a FUP tape, contact ATAC.
Path: Main Menu > Command > Drives > Firmware Update
• If you have an LTO library, you may be able to create your own FUP tape, refer to Creating or
Erasing a FUP Tape on page 76.
• Alternatively, you can update firmware with the RMU.
1 From the main menu, select Command and then select Drives. Select Firmware Update.
2 Check to make sure the FUP tape is write-protected.
3 Place the FUP tape into slot 1A1 (the top mailbox slot). Select OK.
The library performs a TEACH and INVENTORY. The available drives and firmware levels for each
drive are displayed.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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 > FMR 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 appears.
3 Select FMR Tape.
Note
Once an update has started on a drive, that operation cannot be canceled.
Selecting Cancel cancels the update for the next drive.
