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 administrators logged in from different locations. You can access the screen, but you
cannot apply changes while another administrator is performing the same
operation.
To update tape drive firmware:
- Insert a fup.2 tape into the topmost i/e.1 station
slot. If a cartridge is already inserted in the topmost i/e.1
station slot, remove it.
- Select Apply.
Note: At any time, select Cancel to exit the fup.7 screen. Select
Back to return to the previous screen.
