HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Ultrium 1840 FC tape drive upgrade or replacement (AH194-96001, October 2007)

4 Adding an LTO4 tape drive to a library
without any LTO4 tape drives installed
4.1 Upgrade library a nd drive firmware
Upgrade the library firmware for all library components so they will
recognize the LTO4 tape drive.
Upgrade the dri
ve firmware for all LT O2 and L TO3 tape drives in the
library so the
y will properly handle the LTO4 media.
CAUTION:
L T O2 and LT O3 tape drives require the most recent firmware
to immediately identify LTO 4 media. Without the most recent
firmware, loading an LTO4 tape into an earlier generation drive
may result in a long media identificationandunloadtime. The
drivemaynotidentifythemediaandreturnaloaderrorbefore
the application times out waiting for the load. HP strongly
recommends keeping drives updated to the most recent firmware.
