The fup.7 screen prompts you to insert a fup.1 tape in the topmost import/export.1 station slot. The library uses the fup.2 tape to update firmware on the designated tape drives.

After inserting the fup.2 tape in the top i/e.1 station slot and selecting Apply, the library moves the fup.2 tape from the i/e.1 station to a designated tape drive, takes the tape drive offline, and updates the tape drive with the new firmware. If multiple tape drives were selected, the library updates the additional tape drives.

When the firmware update is complete, the library moves the fup.2 tape back to the i/e.1 station slot and brings the tape drives back online.

The affected partition.1 will automatically be taken offline during the firmware update and brought back online when the update is complete.

Note: This operation should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrative users logged in from different locations. You can access the screen, but you cannot apply changes while another administrative user is performing the same operation.

Note: At any time, select Cancel to exit the fup.7 screen. Select Back to return to the previous screen.
