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

NOTE: HP Command View for Tape Libraries 3.0.00 and later uses Adobe Flash Player. If you have
an Internet connection from the Command View TL server, to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ use
it to download flash player with an administrator account. Do not upgrade to Command View Tape
Library 3.0.00 or later if you can not get flash player to install; instead, remain at the 2.8.00 revisions.
To install the 3.7.00 software, first upgrade your management station to the latest Command View
for Tape Libraries release. Upgrading the Interface Manager to any I270 or later release will only
work with Command View for Tape Libraries 2.7.00 or later.
If you are upgrading from a Command View TL version earlier than 2.0.00 (or Command View ESL
prior to version 1.5), follow this upgrade path: 2.32 or 2.8.00 to 3.5.00 to 3.6.00 to 3.7.00.
Command View TL 3.7.00 upgrade is supported from versions 3.6.00 or 3.6 Patch 1 only.
All previous settings (database, device list, support tickets, proxy settings and so forth) are migrated
during the upgrade.
Install the Interface Manager I274 release and 3.6.00 firmware bundle (EML and ESL E-Series Libraries)
NOTE: You must be at the I232 and 2.32 firmware bundle or higher before proceeding with the
upgrades to the I274 and 3.6.00 bundle. If at a revision lower than I232 or 2.32 firmware bundle
first migrate to I232 and 2.32 firmware bundle to proceed. You must be at i250 or above to download
with Command View TL 3.0.00 or later. Upgrades to 3.6.00 are only supported from Command View
TL 3.5.00, and upgrades to 3.7.00 are only supported from Command View TL 3.6.00 or 3.6 patch
1.
NOTE: If the EML library is below 1200 download 1200 first. Then if the EML library is below 1407
download 1407 first. Otherwise the RLC might need to be replaced.
1. Save the existing configuration to a safe location before performing any Interface Manager
upgrade.
2. Download and unpack the 3.6.00 EML or ESL E-Series firmware bundle and Interface Manager
firmware I274 to the Command View for Tape Libraries client (for example, the desktop or laptop).
Verify that the library, interface controller, drive (optional), and the Interface Manager firmware
files are downloaded.
3. If your Interface Manager is at I232 or later, do not perform this step. Continue at the next step.
This step tests the FTP session, and verifies that it can locate the files residing in the Interface
Manager that need to be deleted.
a. Create a text file with Notepad or WordPad and save it at test.txt.
b. FTP to the Interface Manager as anonymous with no password.
c. Enter put test.txt or copy the test.txt file to the Interface Manager.
d. The ls, nlist, or dir command should indicate thattest.txt was just uploaded. If
test.txt is not seen, then disable the firewall. FTP commands may not work correctly with
certain firewalls (for example, Symantec Endpoint in Windows XP).
e. Execute an ls, nlist, or dir command to verify that the directory does not have any
entries. If it does, use the del <filename> command until all other files are removed. This
will free up compact flash (CF) memory used by support tickets or saved configurations. If
there is not enough CF memory, the Interface Manager migration might fail.
NOTE: If you cannot see test.txt, stop downloading at this point or have a compact flash
ready in case the download fails.
4. Use Command View for Tape Libraries to update the Interface Manager firmware. Follow the
upgrade instructions to migrate directly to I274.
