• Fixed a case where there was a loss of communication between the master Library and lower Library while downloading firmware with L&TT simultaneously into two or three half-height tape drives that are located in the lower Library of an extended library configuration. Error code BA 00 is issued by the extended library and a full power cycle is required to recover the extended library configuration. The firmware download to the drives completed without errors.
