CHAPTER 7
Updating the Firmware
7.1 Updating the Code
When you need to update the firmware in a drive, you can do it either of two ways:
• Build a firmware image tape; this tape can be used in either a manual
firmware update or in a Library setting.
• Update the firmware over the SCSI bus.
Both of these approaches are described briefly in the following subsections.
NOTE: For more information about other diagnostics tools
provided by Quantum, refer to Section 1.8, “Quantum
Diagnostics Tools” on page 1-6.
7.1.1 Update the Firmware Using the SCSI Bus
SDLT Update is a tool that allows you to update a drive’s firmware (using the
SCSI bus), or to create a code update (CUP/FUP) tape for an SDLT drive.
SDLT Update is available on Quantum’s web site, http://www.quantum.com.
Follow the path Support =>Drivers and Software and download the SDLT
Update package. For detailed instructions to use while updating the firmware,
refer to that tool’s built-in online help.
