Updating Firmware
Note: Before upgrading firmware, be sure to generate a support ticket using HP
StorageWorks Library & Tape Tools (see page 175). The resulting information may be
helpful to your service provider in resolving potential issues that may have prompted the
firmware upgrade.
MSL Series tape libraries can be flashed using HP StorageWorks Library and
Tape Tools (L&TT), the Remote Management Interface, or the MSLUtil.exe
diagnostic utility and diagnostic cable.
