MS2024 firmware upgrade

[AndrewDu]

This is an MSL2024 with two FC-attached LTO5 drives.

Using Library and Tape tools 4.15.

Firmware is v. 5.5 which lists as out of date.

The utility identifies v 6.0 as the current one and downloads the file to the local store.

However I cannot update is as it now shows "wrong personality"

What's the issue here? How should I proceed, if at all?

There are alternate ways to upgrade the firmware on the MSL2024.

• Remote management interface (RMI).
• Operator control panel (OCP) using a USB flash drive.
• HP Library and Tape Tools (L&TT).

To upgrade firmware from the RMI:

1. Download current firmware using HP Library & Tape Tools or from the HP support website: http://www.hp.com/support/storage.
2. Log into the RMI as the administrator user.
3. In the Support: Firmware page, browse to the location of the firmware file.
4. Click Update.

  To upgrade firmware from the OCP using a USB flash drive:

• Download current firmware using HP Library & Tape Tools or from the HP support website: http://www.hp.com/support/storage. Copy the firmware onto the USB flash drive.
• Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port on the back of the library.
• From the Support menu, select FW Upgrade > By USB.
• Select the library as the target for the upgrade, and select the filename of the firmware.
• Click Upgrade.
• When the upgrade is complete, remove the USB flash drive from the USB port.

If you still have issues in upgrading the firmware from the RMI and the OCP,  I would suggest to try upgrading the firmwares to firmware versions 5.70 (both library and drives) first and then try to go to 6.00.
