I need to upgrade the drive's (C7200-69202 TH8XG-HN) firmware but I don't know the exact procedure.
I have read that we can do this via a tape, network, LCD panel, LTT... but I don't know which one would work as we haven't got the library whith us, it's for a client.
Could someone send me this or explain me exactly what to do ?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: SureStore E Tape Library 2/20 drive firmware update
Adding to Mark's info, Library and Tape Tools can be downloaded from:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?pnameOID=406731&locale=en_US&taskId=135&prodSeriesId=406729&prodTypeId=12169
Select the appropriate OS and download L&TT version 4.0.
Note:Before running L&TT, ensure all backup services/processess are stopped and Removable Storage Manager (RSM) is disabled and set to manual if you are using Windows.
Also, when upgrading/flashing the firmware do make sure that there is/are no tapes in the drive(s). The firmware upgrade should be carried out in the following sequence:-
1. Flash the firmware for the Library first
2. Flash the firmware for the tape drives.
Do let me know if this is helpful,
thanks,
Satish

Re: SureStore E Tape Library 2/20 drive firmware update
I have heard that you can do this operation via a laptop.
But I only have a network plug on mine and no scsi.
Does LTT work via the network ? If I do a "scan" it didn't see anything.

SolutionL&TT does not support network so it will not find any devices unless it is running on a server with SCSI connect.
As previously mentioned L&TT is the tool that should be used to update the firmware and it should be installed on a system with SCSI connectivity to the library.
If you absolutely can't use L&TT then you can create a firmware update tape for the drive and then use the library front panel to update the drive firmware. The recommended method for creating a firmware update tape again is L&TT selecting the drive and then running a "Firmware tape creator" test. If you have access to another DLT8K drive then you can use it to create your firmware update tape and send the tape to your customer.

Re: SureStore E Tape Library 2/20 drive firmware update
There's now an other problem : I need to downgrade the second drive to the same firmware. It's 59, I know it's an old one, but the client wants to keep it because the Library is on 1600 firmware.

Re: SureStore E Tape Library 2/20 drive firmware update
If you want to downgrade firmware, then you will have to obtain a password override so that you can perform the operation. To get a password, you will have to call the HP Technical support team.
Thanks,

Re: SureStore E Tape Library 2/20 drive firmware update
My problem is that I can't install LTT on the local server and I can't access the library via network or rmc card to modify the drive's firmware.
The LTT Team has provided me a solution which is to boot LTT from a CD. I haven't try it, but I think it will work.
Thanks for all your answers
