14. If a firmware upgrade fails, make sure that the chosen firmware is correct for the
LTO generation and interface specification of the drive. If it is not, repeat this
procedure to download a copy of the correct firmware.
15. If a firmware upgrade fails and you are sure that the chosen firmware is correct for
the drive, create a service request.
For more information, see "Getting Parts and Technical Support" on page 7-24.
16. Repeat this procedure until you have installed all of the firmware upgrades that
you have downloaded.
17. When all firmware is up to date, bring the library back online.
18. If you are configuring a newly installed library, go to "Finishing a New
Configuration" on page 4-18.
19. Otherwise, once all firmware is up to date, stop here.
Revert to the Previous Library Firmware
If you ever have problems with a firmware update, you can roll the library back to the
most recent, previously installed version using the following procedure.
1. Log in to the SL150 remote user interface as an administrator.
2. Select Firmware from the navigation menu on the left side of the interface.
The Firmware worksheet appears. The Current Firmware Version field displays
the firmware revision that is currently installed on the library. If an earlier version
was previously installed, the Previous Firmware Version field displays the most
recently installed previous version and a Revert button.
3. Press the Revert button.
The Revert Library to Previous Firmware Version dialog appears.
4. If the library has been operating normally and if its contents have not changed,
check the Bypass audit for a faster restart ... check box in the Restart Library
dialog.
Checking the contents of a large library can take some time. So, when an audit is
not strictly necessary, the library displays this checkbox so that you can choose to
skip it. The option is not available if magazines are open or if the library has been
in the Inoperative state.
5. Press OK to restart the library and activate the old firmware.
Finishing a New Configuration
At this point, the newly installed tape library should be fully operational. But to finish
the configuration and fully integrate the equipment into your environment, you may
need to carry out the following, additional tasks:
■ Add any additional users that you require.
See "Adding a User and Assigning a Role" on page 5-1 for instructions.
■ Set up system monitoring, if required.
See "Using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)" on page 7-7.
■ Configure system notifications, if required.
See "Configuring Email Notifications for Health and State Changes" on page 7-14.
