Failing FW Upgrade
The firmware is in the .E format instead of the .frm format
Does anyone know how to force the firmware update with the .E format?
I noticed the only difference between the .E and .frm format is a header of 1088 bytes.

Re: Failing FW Upgrade
Pablo the .E format is used in the HP StorageWorks Tape Firmware tool.
https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/swd/detail?swItemId=co_99737_1
I am using this drive in a Quantum Superloader 3 autoloader.
FW vB22Z is designed for use in the Quantum Superloader, but I can not get it to load.
http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/SuperLoader3/Index.aspx#Firmware
Can anyone confirm if FW vB22Z is a different personality than FW vB22D and vB32D
If so I need to figure out the header specification of the .frm format so I can convert the .E file into a .frm file and use LTT to load it with a Product ID Override.

Re: Failing FW Upgrade
HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (HP L&TT) uses the .frm format not the .E format.
The other issue is that your can't change the personality of an LTO drive. B22D and B22Z are different personalities. Even with the proper override options set in HP L&TT the drive will reject the firmware.
The link you provided is does not point to firmware that can be used with HP L&TT.
Since you are trying to put the HP drive into something other than what is was designed for, I would suggest that you contact Quantum for the correct drive.
