HP StoreEver Command View for Tape Libraries (CVTL) v. 3.7 and Interface Manager Firmware v I274 Release Notes

Use advisory ESL-e c01464098 or EML c01463974 to upgrade directly to I232 and CVTL 2.8.00
from any revision less than I232. Then, perform the upgrade to I270 using CVTL 2.8.00.
CAUTION: Customers upgrading from HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series library firmware 6.20 to 6.22
or higher via Interface Manager or Command View TL in an HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series library
will encounter the following message: “Interface Manager (IM) unable to verify whether firmware
update completed or not, please check the device.” Wait until the library Operator Control Panel
indicates the upgrade is complete. This will take about 20 minutes. The upgrade will complete with
no issues. This error will not occur once the firmware is fully installed in the library. Failure to wait may
result in damage to the library and the need for service intervention.
CAUTION: ESL E-Series libraries that have had the cabinet controller or cabinet controller smart
media/daughter board replaced without having library defaults reset afterwards, must restore library
defaults prior to upgrading to 7.X or higher firmware (first included in the 2.4 or higher firmware
bundle). If the history of the library is unknown, it is recommended that library defaults be reset prior
to loading 7.0 to be safe. Library defaults are different than restoring the Interface Manager defaults;
restoring library defaults must be done from the front panel (Operator Control Panel) of the library in
the Setup menu.
CAUTION: Customers upgrading from HP EML libraries from below 1200 need to go to 1200 first.
Secondly if the firmware is below 1407 then they need to upgrade to 1407 next. Then they can
upgrade to the latest firmware. EML libraries might not show the latest revision is loaded until the IFC
is also rebooted if no host commands were sent to the library after the upgrade.
This configuration data includes, but is not limited to:
• Management Station information
• Library settings
• Support contact information
• Interface Manager settings
• Partition settings (if configured)
• Secure Manager settings (if configured)
• Network settings
• SNMP settings
• License settings
Migrations are increasingly complicated and HP strongly recommends that any migration be performed
by an HP Service engineer using ESL c01473045 and EML c01439962 migration documents. All
migrations to the I270 and 2.8.00 code bundle must be preceded by upgrade to the I232 and 2.3.0
code bundle (migration instructions are included in the readme file for I232).
CAUTION: Upgrading to 2.x is not supported for ESL9000 libraries. These libraries can be fully
managed using Command View for Tape Libraries 2.x. but will not accept the I200 or higher Interface
Manager code. ESL9000 libraries will work only with version I182 Interface Manager code and CVTL
2.6.00.
