Minimum Firmware Levels
Library firmware must be greater than A.40.
Library firmware level must be at A.40, or greater, to
support Feature Codes 8049, 8148, and 8149 (LTO HH
Tape Drives).
Library firmware must be at E.80 or greater to support
the Ultrium 8 drives. Ensure that the minimum version
to support Ultrium 8 tape drives are installed on the
host. Ensure that any host applications and software that
use their own device drivers are at the minimum level to
support Ultrium 8 tape drives.
Library Firmware must be at F.00 or greater to support
the M8 media feature. Drive firmware must be at HB82
or greater to support the M8 media feature. Ensure that
any IBM device drivers are at the minimum level that is
required to support the TS3100/TS3200 library.
Library firmware must be at D.00 or greater to support
the Ultrium 7 drives. Ensure that the minimum version
to support Ultrium 7 tape drives are installed on the
host. Ensure that any host applications and software that
use their own device drivers are at the minimum level to
support Ultrium 7 tape drives.
Library firmware must be at B.50 or greater to support
the Ultrium 6 drives. Ensure that the minimum version
to support Ultrium 6 tape drives are installed on the
host. Ensure that any host applications and software that
use their own device drivers are at the minimum level to
support Ultrium 6 tape drives.
Library firmware must be at 9.00, or greater, to support
the Ultrium 5 drives. If the IBM Tape Device Driver or
ITDT (IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool) is used, ensure that the
minimum version to support Ultrium 5 tape drives are
installed on the host. Ensure that any host applications
and software that use their own device drivers are at the
minimum level to support Ultrium 5 tape drives.
Libraries that are manufactured after May 2010 might
have a BCR that requires a minimum level of library
firmware. The minimum level of firmware for these
libraries is 9.00. Attempts to downlevel these libraries
below 9.00 is blocked by the library.
Library firmware level must be greater than 1.95.
