Import the Firmware Update Tapes
1. Log into the library as a user with superuser or administrator
privileges.
2. Insert one or more firmware update tapes into a TeraPack magazine
(see Figure 134 on page 221). Make a note of the barcode label on the
cartridge so that you can identify it after it is imported.
Note: If the cartridge is not labeled with a barcode, pay attention to
which slot you use (as viewed from the TAP door, slot 1 is at the
back of the magazine; slot 10 is at the front).
3. Import the magazine containing the firmware update tape(s) into the
entry/exit pool as described in Importing into a Storage or Cleaning
Partition on page 223.
Notes: If necessary, export a magazine from the entry/exit pool to
provide an empty chamber for the magazine containing
firmware update tapes (see Exporting or Exchanging
Magazines and Cartridges on page 231).
Some backup software atomically moves tapes from entry/
exit slots into the storage partition. If this cannot be disabled
in the software or you cannot shutdown the software to
prevent this, you cannot use this process.
Perform the Update
1. Select Configuration > DLM (or Drives) to display the Drives screen.
2. Click Drive Firmware Update to launch the update wizard. The Drive
Firmware Update screen displays showing the information for the last
partition that was viewed.
