Can it be done loading from a DLT tape in each drive rather than running the Tape Tools program.
Also the controller is running firmware 1.4.10, do I need to update the firmware to the latest version when updating the DLT drives, or is the old firmware on the controller compatable with the latest DLT Library drive firmware.
Regards
Adrian

Re: A5585A Surestore DLT 4/40 Library Firmware update
you can run L&TT form a host that can have access to the library, and the tool will take care about wich version of FW you have to load
option is to use the RMC (Remote Management Card) and log in the Web interface, there you will have an option to upgrade FW

Re: A5585A Surestore DLT 4/40 Library Firmware update
1) HP Library & Tape Tools
2) FUP tape
3) STM on HP-UX
You can use HP L&TT on a system with a DLT drive attached to create the FUP tape. It's one of the included tests.
> Also the controller is running firmware 1.4.10, do I need to update the firmware to the latest version when updating the DLT drives ...
Technically no. The library & drive firmware are for the most part indendent. The only library requirement is that the firmware on all drives be the same revision (otherwise you will get a partial availability warning).
That said, I'd recommend updating to 1.60. It includes a number of reliability improvements. You can use the "details" button in L&TT "get files from web" to see the changes in 1.52 and 1.60 firmware.

Actually that only works for library code and HP LTO drives. The DLT drives do not support firmware update over the library serial interface.

Re: A5585A Surestore DLT 4/40 Library Firmware update
I have connected a DLT up to a system running tape tools, but I don't get the option to create the FUP tape. It doesn't appear under the tests after I have selected the dlt drive.
There is a test DLT_FW.tst file in the scripts folder. Do I have to do anything to get tape tools to see it.

Yes, that's the right test. I'm guessing you may have pulled an updated version of the test script from the web (with "Get Files from Web"). We had problem a few days ago where the scripts were published in a compressed form, and when pulled by LTT they get corrupted. We republished the files uncompressed. If you go to File -> Get Files from Web, and then redownload the "DLT Firmware Tape creator" script, it should then show up as a selectable test. Probably should redownload all the scripts. There should be 9 selectable tests for a DLT tape drive.

Re: A5585A Surestore DLT 4/40 Library Firmware update
The options I get under tests are:
DLT acceptance
Device Analysis
Connectivity
Media Analysis
Media Validation
Read/Write
Devie Self test
Any more suggestions ?
Thanks

Re: A5585A Surestore DLT 4/40 Library Firmware update
It doesn't check for the firmware.frm file until the test starts running, so that's not the problem.
> I still do not get the option to create a DLT fup tape.
Interesting. Are you sure you didn't grab the DLT1 firmware tape creator script?
The DLT_FW.tst should be a 14K file, and it should be plain text if you open it with notepad.
> The options I get under tests are:
You're missing two script-based tests:
DLT firmware tape creator
| DLT_FW.tst
Data compression test
| Compression-test.tst
Delete those files and redownload them.
If that doesn't solve the problem, go to Help, click on tool status report, and then email it to ltt_team@hp.com (and mention this thread).

I have deleted and downloaded both files and they can be read as text files with notepad, but I still do not get the option to create the Firmware tape.

Re: A5585A Surestore DLT 4/40 Library Firmware update

The 4/40 only supports DLT8000 drives, which are supported by all the scripts.
From the tool status report:
> 2/0.6.0:Tape:"Quantum DLT4000 CPQ DRV"
This is a premerger Compaq DLT4000. The test currently handles only the Quantum generic DLT4000 drives ("Quantum DLT4000") used by premerger HP. We can get the test updated to include the premerger Compaq drives as well.
We can email you an updated test most likely tomorrow morning (and we'll post it on the web shortly thereafter).
