Hello, I've sent an email with your autoloader's manual.

I know you have a firmware issue now but it can help with future problems (and maybe the currect one too).

HTH,

I don't know how someone managed to "update" a 48AL to distribution drive code (9608), but that is why you are getting firmware mismatch errors when you try to put NS01 or NS00 back in. It is probably not the firmware update software that is rejecting the firmware ID, it is the drive itself. The only way to get enterprise code back into the drive is to first put in some special manufacturing test code called "mtc". This is not released outside of the factory, so you really need to send the drive back for repair to get the NS00 firmware back into the drive.
The only difference between a HP6400 48AL and a SS 12000 is the firmware, so essentially you now have a SureStore 12000e. Is that a problem? What test did Library & Tape Tools fail on?
