Usually, the Library itself (the Gripper/Robot) is controlled by passing through Drive 0.

So, if the Software says "Get Cartridge 10" this is sent as a SCSI command (using FC or SAS) to Drive 0 and from here internal to the Library Robot.

The 1GB LAN is only used for the Management Web GUI and not provided to the Backup Application.

You don't have to add the Mgmt IP anywhere in the Backup Software.

For the Firmware i guess you need to contact the support team. They might share it: https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/A00039121ENW

These are my opinions so use it at your own risk.
