C5173-7000 firmware update goofiness

Alex_215 — Tue, 06 Jan 2004 17:57:56 GMT

I am having some problems with a dlt 15 series library and am trying to update the firmware. It was originally 3.04 and it updated to 3.05 just fine.
But, the problems continue (new version of b/u software will not control the autoloader consistently) and using the L&TT I can see that there is a 4.06 version of firmware. after downloading and going to the local firmware files tab, the selectable column says "wrong prefix" and I am stuck there.
Is this a valid firmware rev or a bug in L&TT?
Also, is there a website that actually has a list of bugs fixed etc. for each version for this device?

Thanks in advance.

Version 3.05 is the last version of firmware for your product.

The 4.06 image is for a similar product with a different controller board. LTT is correct in saying it is the wrong prefix (4 instead of 3).

There is no external website with the firmware changes. HP CEs can access service notes that list changes.

Where did you get the 4.06 firmware? I am looking for it and haven't had much luck.

Run HP LTT and then use Files -> Get Files from web.
