Chapter 9: Updating Firmware
Updating and Autoleveling Tape Drive Firmware
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 241
tape drive firmware images. You may, however, upload separate
tape drive firmware images to use instead (such as a patch or
upgrade provided by Quantum; see
Uploading Tape Drive Firmware
Used in Autoleveling on page 242). If you upload a patch, the patch
will display instead of the baseline image, although the baseline
image will remain, hidden. Tape drives will be autoleveled to the
patch. If you delete the patch, then baseline image will reappear on
the screen and the tape drives will autolevel to the baseline image
(see
Deleting Tape Drive Firmware Used in Autoleveling on
page 244).
If you upgrade library firmware, the baseline tape drive firmware for
that version of library firmware will overwrite the existing baseline
tape drive firmware images. If you did not previously upload a
patch, all the tape drives will be autoleveled to the new baseline. If
you previously uploaded a patch, the patch remains and tape drive
firmware will remain autoleveled to the patch. You will need to
delete the patch in order to have the tape drives autoleveled to the
new baseline (see
Deleting Tape Drive Firmware Used in Autoleveling
on page 244).
If you downgrade library firmware, the baseline tape drive firmware
for that version of library firmware will overwrite the existing
baseline tape drive firmware images as well as any patches you may
have uploaded prior to the downgrade, and all tape drives will be
autoleveled to the new baseline. If you want to continue to use the
patch or a different version of tape drive firmware, you will need to
upload it again. Contact Quantum Support if you need help
obtaining firmware (see
Getting More Information or Help on
page xxv).
Autoleveling will not occur if a tape drive has a cartridge loaded in
it. Make sure to unload tape cartridges from all tape drives before
loading new firmware for autoleveling, or before upgrading library
firmware.
Autoleveling occurs after the completes its initialization. This means
it is possible for a host to see the medium changer initially, but
when the autoleveling starts on the drives it is likely the medium
changer will disappear again. Wait until autoleveling completes
before starting backup applications. (The operator panel displays a
message indicating autoleveling is taking place. Wait until this
message disappears before starting backup applications.)
