Drive Firmware Upgrade Instructions
Tape drive firmware is bundled with the library firmware and is
automatically installed and autoleveled on your tape drives when you
install library firmware.
In some cases, a tape drive firmware upgrade or patch may be available
from Quantum Support outside of the normal library firmware release
cycle. The instructions in this section explain how to install such an
upgrade or patch.
You can also use these instructions to install down-rev tape drive
firmware. If you wish to do this, contact Quantum Support for the
firmware image files.
Caution: Only install tape drive firmware image files that have been
tested and qualified by Quantum.
It is not necessary to delete an existing version of firmware before
uploading a new version. The new version overwrites the existing
version.
Note: Uploading tape drive firmware for autoleveling only uploads
the firmware to the library in preparation for autoleveling. It
does not initiate autoleveling or install firmware on the tape
drive. To initiate autoleveling, see
Autoleveling
You can only upload tape drive firmware on the Web client.
