• If the update completes successfully, the tape drive rewinds and
unloads the FUP tape, resets itself, and is ready to use the new
firmware. The drive automatically reboots.
• If the update fails, the tape drive posts an error code to the SCD.
To determine the error, locate the code in Appendix
A, Error
Codes and Messages. Push the Unload button to eject the
cartridge. The drive exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge
is remove
d. Contact Quantum Technical Support for problem
determination or machine replacement.
Function Code 3: Create
FUP Tape
Function Code 3 copies the drive's firmware update (FUP) data to a
scratch data cartridge. The resulting FUP tape can only be used to
update the firmware on other LTO-8 tape drives with the same host
interface (SAS, or Fibre Channel).
Caution: For this function, insert only a scratch (blank) data
cartridge or a cartridge that may be overwritten. During
the test, the drive overwrites the data on the cartridge.
Note: If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge, error code J or 7
appears in the SCD. If you inserted a write-protected cartridge,
or the media has read-only compatibility, error code P appears
in the SCD. In either case, the tape drive unloads the cartridge
and exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed.
1 Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see
Appendix
4, Entering Maintenance Mode.
2 Press the Unload button on
ce per second until 3 appears in the
SCD. (If you cycle past the desired code, press the Unload button
once per second until the code reappears.)
3 Press and hold the Unload bu
tton for three or more seconds, then
release it to select the function. The SCD changes to a flashing C.
4 Insert a scratch (blank) data cartridge that is not
write protected (or
the tape drive exits maintenance mode). The SCD changes to a
flashing 3. The tape drive copies the FUP data to the scratch data
cartridge.
