Other Methods for Updating Drive Firmware through the SCSI or
Fibre Channel
Attention: SCSI drives and Fibre Channel drives require different firmware
images.
When updating drive firmware by using the SCSI or Fibre Channel interface, the
procedure varies, depending on whether your server uses an IBM tape device
driver or a non-IBM tape device driver (such as a driver from Sun,
Hewlett-Packard, or Microsoft
®
).
For instructions about updating firmware from a server that uses an IBM tape
device driver, refer to the IBM Ultrium Device Drivers Installation and User’s Guide.
To update firmware from a server that uses a non-IBM tape device driver, refer to
the documentation for that device.
