HP StorageWorks MSL8096 Tape Library firmware release notes (AK382-96013, November 2009)

by properly initializing each library’s drives after encountering the Extender Missing 8B 40
error condition.
RMI not responding in case "Dump Log" or "Save Service Dump" button was selected several
times
RMI was not responding in case the Dump Log or Save Service Dump button on the RMI - Support -
Library logs page was selected several times. This problem has been corrected by modifying these
RMI buttons to only be selected one time for each case.
Library may become non-responsive when RMI obtains a large library or autoloader support
ticket
Library may become non-responsive (‘hang’) when using the RMI to obtain a large library or autoloader
support ticket. This issue has now been corrected by allocating additional memory during the process.
The RMI firmware updates from file fail when drive has tape loaded
Previously, the RMI firmware updates from file fail when the drive has a tape loaded. When this
occurred the RMI displayed an "error during firmware upgrade: IR invalid personality" message. To
avoid the issue, this firmware version does not allow the RMI to download firmware to a drive which
has a tape loaded.
Upper right 12 slot shows as disabled if all mailslots are enabled and lower left mailslot is
opened
If all mailslots are enabled (15) and the lower left mailslot is opened, the RMI Operations-> Move
Media display indicates that the upper right 12 slot mailslot is disabled. This is corrected and moves
to or from the 12 position mailslot are now allowed.
NOTE:
This applies to firmware release 9.30 only.
Library reports Not ready to ready transition after unload command
In random mode, the library reports a Unit Attention Not ready to ready transition after unload
command is received by the drive. This version will not send a Unit Attention in this case.
Unable to retrieve drive support tickets
Previously, when operating in the Extended mode, it was not possible to retrieve drive support tickets
from the drives which are in the lower library. This problem is now corrected.
