HP StoreEver MSL2024 Tape Library Getting Started (AK378-96060, December 2012)

17 Verifying the installation
Verify that the library has the current firmware revision,
and update to the latest firmware if necessary.
To find the version of firmware installed on the library,
see the RMI Support: Firmware screen, or from the
OCP:
1. From the Home screen, press Next until the
display shows Status/Information. Press
Enter.
2. Press Next until the display shows Library
Information. Press Enter.
3. Press Next until the display shows the Firmware
Rev.
4. Press Cancel until the display shows the home
screen.
To find the current firmware revision and download
firmware files, select HP Support & Drivers from the
HP MSL Tape Libraries website:
http://www.hp.com/go/msl
If necessary, update the firmware from the RMI
Support: Firmware screen or HP Library & Tape Tools
(L&TT).
You can use L&TT to verify the installation. L&TT is
especially useful for checking the drives and HBA
settings on your server, viewing connectivity to your
host, downloading firmware, and running diagnostics
on the library and tape drives.
You can download the latest L&TT from:
http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools
After configuring the library, you can save the
configuration database to a USB flash drive from the
OCP or to a file from the RMI Configuration >
Save/Restore screen. Having a backup of the library
configuration is helpful when recovering from a
configuration error, setting up multiple Libraries with
similar configurations, or if the library needs service.
