DLT firmware update problem

[David Ruska]

Jeff,

From the correct drive for the SureStore 2/20 family libaries:

Drive Personality : OML3 - 0x0F03

From one the suspect drives:

Drive Personality : (0x126A)

That's not a personality we even recognize (and therefore don't have a personality code name for it).

It's not a personality used by HP or Compaq in either a library or as a standalone drive version. It's likely a firmware variant for another library vendor.

Even if the drive hardware is identical, you cannot change personalities.

Since the OML3 firmware variant was tailored/integrated specifically for HP libraries, another personality is not guarenteed to work (e.g. the tape eject behavior may not match what the library needs).

A drive with personality other than OML3 should not be in a drive module for the 2/20 family library, so it's possible someone put them together from spare parts.
