GUI Description: A stored tape drive firmware image is not usable for auto-
leveling of a tape drive.
Explanation: During initialization, or when a drive is inserted while the library
is operating, the library checks the product firmware level of the installed tape
drive (brick) and compares that version to the version that it stores internally in
its file system. If they are not the same, the library automatically updates the
tape drive (brick) with this internally stored firmware image.
The automatic update of the tape drive firmware fails.
The tape drive firmware image stored on the library's file system is corrupt.
