HP StorageWorks MSL2024 Tape Library firmware release notes (AK378-96030, March 2010)

Fixes
• Fixed a case where the firmware failed to set the SEQ bit on the MODE Sense Page 0x20 after
an library mode configuration change from Automatic mode or Random mode to Sequential mode.
• Fixed a case where the RMI address was not updated on Inquiry Page 85h until after the Library
was rebooted.
Compatibility note
When using firmware version 4.40 or newer revisions with the Encryption Kit, any key server tokens
set with an odd number of characters for the PIN will not be totally backwards compatible in
Autoloaders or Libraries with code revisions 2.10, 4.00, 6.30, or 8.70. In those cases, a token in
an Autoloader or Library with 2.10, 4.00, 6.30, or 8.70 firmware revisions will be able to accept
the PIN for the token and access keys on the token, but the user will not be able to change the PIN
on the token, save the keys to a file, or restore the keys from a file until the Autoloader or Library
firmware is upgraded. Users should always upgrade to the latest version of firmware to ensure complete
compatibility.
