Upgrading firmware (Support > Library FW Upgrade, Support> Drive FW Upgrade)
The library allows two types of firmware to be upgraded — one for the tape drive and the other
for the library itself. You can upgrade both types of firmware from a USB flash drive. You can
also upgrade the tape drive firmware from a firmware upgrade tape. Access to this feature requires
the administrator password.
The library only supports signed firmware image upgrades and downgrades. Once firmware that
uses code signing is loaded, the firmware will reject all unsigned images. If you attempt to load
an unsigned firmware image, the RMI displays an invalid firmware version error message.
If you see this message, download the latest signed firmware image from the MSL website at
http://www.hpe.com/info/msl.
To upgrade library firmware from a USB flash drive:
1.
Download current library firmware using Library & Tape Tools or from the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise support website at http://www.hpe.com/support/storage. Copy the firmware onto
the USB flash drive.
TIP:
The display will only show the first 16 characters of the file name. If the USB drive
has multiple firmware files, ensure that you can distinguish the files from the first 16 characters
in their file names.
