Re: MSL 5000 library and firmware update

Did you attempt to update to the master library or the slave library?

What does LTT state in the GUI when the firmware download fails?

If you can, send a screen shot to me at ltt_team@hp.com. Please attach the event logs from C:\Program Files\HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools\logs

Re: MSL 5000 library and firmware update

Just to update anyone interested, the LTT firmware update from the laptop failed because the fibre router was still on the SCSI bus at a conflicting ID (7).

The web interface update failed because it requires a .bin firmware file to be copied into the /upload directory (via ftp). We (hp) are not currently distributing the .bin file.

The LTT unix update failed due to a firmware bug updating master/slaves from 4.08 to 4.21. We are still looking into the root cause.

A workaround for updating to firmware 4.21 with master/slaves is as follows:

1) Turn off the slave(s).
2) Update firmware on the master.
3) Turn on the slave(s).
4) Use Maintenance -> Flash Slaves to copy the firmware to the slave(s).
The journey IS the reward.
