Re: Surestore DLT 1/8 tape library
Seems that some backup software reset the blocksize when exchanging the tape drive
see also:

otherwise check with L&TT if the write performance is okay or if there might be some issues
cheers mike

Re: Surestore DLT 1/8 tape library
It is very unlikely to make a non-hp drive working in this box.
You cannot download hp firmware to a non-hp drive.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Surestore DLT 1/8 tape library
It is sometimes necessary to disable L&TT safeguards to perform more advanced operations.
These operations (options) are only available after you have entered the necessary password. To obtain
this password, contact HP support. After you have entered the password, the Options button on the
Update Firmware tab becomes available. When you click this button, the Factory Firmware Overrides
dialog box opens (this dialog box varies slightly between drives and libraries)
The Factory Firmware Overrides dialog box presents the following three options:
├в ┬в Allow firmware downgrading├в By default, L&TT does not show files with older revision levels as
selectable. On the Local Firmware Files tab, the comment field displays the message ├в downgrade
password required.├в In most cases, you should use the latest firmware. However, if software
incompatibilities or other customer limitations require the use of older firmware revisions, this
checkbox lets you downgrade to older firmware revisions.
├в ┬в Allow selection of any [drive or library] firmware file├в This option allows mapping of the device
firmware to a product, irrespective of the device├в s product ID. There are a few cases in which the
product ID does not match the desired firmware file (and the ID may also need to be updated).
One case is when a library is being updated from one drive technology to another. Another case
is when the device has a firmware revision string format that differs from that in the firmware file,
and the tool cannot determine whether it is newer or older. If incompatible firmware is sent
to a device, an error message is displayed.
├в ┬в Update [drive or library] product ID├в This writes the product ID from the firmware file to the drive.
NOTE:
A number of products may not support updating the product ID, so use this feature only when you
know the device supports it. The most common use of this feature is for updating drive technologies in
optical libraries.
Temporary password is '3A9Y1E93FAYEFS'
Password valid 20 days from 02/23/2007
(Remove ('') for password use)

Re: Surestore DLT 1/8 tape library
Your best option for updating firmware is to find the company that originally sold this drive and get the latest firmware from them.
