Updating Library and drive firmware (Support > FW Upgrade)
The Tape Library allows two types of firmware to be upgraded — one for the tape drives and the
other for the Tape Library itself. You can upgrade both types of firmware from a USB flash drive, the
RMI, or L&TT. You can also upgrade drive firmware from a firmware upgrade tape.
Using a USB flash drive to upgrade firmware (Support > FW Upgrade> By USB)
This option allows you to upgrade Tape Library or tape drive firmware using a USB flash drive in the
Tape Library's USB port on the back panel. No operations will be available until the upgrade completes.
Access to this feature requires the administrator password.
To update firmware using a USB flash drive:
1. Download current firmware using HP Library & Tape Tools or from the HP support website: http:/
/www.hp.com/support/storage. Copy the firmware onto the USB flash drive.
2. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the back of the device.
3. From the Support menu, select FW Upgrade > By USB.
4. Select the target for the upgrade, which will be one of the tape drives or the Library, and select
the filename of the firmware.
5. Click Upgrade.
6. When the upgrade is complete, remove the USB flash drive from the USB port.
