Note: IBM has applied for Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)
certification for 3592 encryption-capable tape drives. To maintain FIPS PUB
140-2 compliance for a tape drive, load only FIPS-certified microcode into
that tape drive. The latest drive microcode that is available might not be
FIPS certified. You can learn about FIPS certification at the website:
http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/.
Figure 188. VPD Summary/Code Load Window
This window is divided into several areas:
Devices
This list box displays all the 3592 drives configured in the library. It also
displays the progress and results of any action taken. The drive model is
displayed as J1A, E05, J1AE, or E06.
Notes:
v J1AE is a Model E05 emulating a Model J1A.
v E06, when displayed, can be a native E06 or an EU6, which is a
field upgrade of an E05 drive.
Drive Microcode List
This list box displays the drive microcode files that have been already been
copied to the Library Manager hard disk (directory C:\DRVIMGS). The
Date/Time is the file creation date/time (when the file was placed on the
CD). A maximum of 10 microcode files are maintained on the Library
Manager hard disk. If more than 10 microcode files are detected during
panel initialization the oldest microcode files (oldest creation dates) are
deleted.
To get a summary of the drive VPD, perform the following steps:
1. Select a 3592 tape drive or set of tape drives from the Device listbox.
