• Verify that the lower Lib-
rary is an HP Storage-
Works MSL2024 or
MSL4048 Tape Library.
The lower Library is not an HP
StorageWorks MSL2024 or
MSL4048 Tape Library.
Lower Library personality not
matching.

• Update the extended lib-
rary firmware with the cur-
rent firmware bundle,
which will update both Lib-
raries and the Extender
with compatible firmware
versions.
The firmware version of the
Extender is not compatible
with the firmware version of
the master Library.
Extender firmware not match-
ing.
53
• Disable extended mode,
update both Libraries to the
most recent released ver-
sions, and then re-enable
extended mode.
The firmware versions of the
master Library and lower Lib-
rary are not compatible with
each other.
Lower Library firmware level
not matching.

• Verify that the master (top)
Library is an MSL4048 or
MSL8096.
The master Library is not an
MSL4048 or MSL8096.

The firmware upgrade failed,
possibly because of a power
failure during the upgrade
operation.
