Release Notes
The following provides release information for Oracle’s StorageTek SL8500 library
version FRS_8.60.
What’s New in this Release
Library firmware version FRS_8.60 includes the following enhancements:
■ LTO8 support
■ Implemented HBK card (idcard) scan on initialization or manually through CLI.
■ The library will not shutdown when the HBK grace period of 30 days expires.
Instead the library performs the following:
– Posts error alert once a day in the Status Module stating "Secure key grace
period active. 0 days left."
– Changes the overall library health to an error state (red).
– Logs the following events in syslog once a day:
* “Secure key failed and grace period expired”
* “Secure key (HBK) failed – 0 minutes in grace period”
■ Implemented the ability to save and restore library configuration files using SLC
FRS_6.65 or above.
■ If the Active Cell count is 0, the overall library health is set to warning. A status
alert is also posted in the Status Module.
■ The need for CLN to be in the cleaning cartridge volser has been eliminated for
drive cleaning.
■ Implemented automatic configuration of drive IP addresses on enterprise drives.
■ Added the ability to enable the drive locate beacon from the drive status page on
SLC.
■ Partitioning no longer requires a hardware activation file.
Fixes
■ The library now returns cartridges to source upon completion of Media
Validations in a complex.
