User manual QUANTUM HOW TO INSTALL FIRMWARE

[. . . ] Instructions for using your Benchmark Firmware Upgrade Utility This page assumes that you have downloaded the appropriate firmware upgrade utility, as well as the firmware image file from: http://www. 4benchmark. com/support/drivers. cfm. CAUTION: Benchmark recommends performing firmware upgrades during system downtime, as it may be necessary to power down the server during this process. [. . . ] The drive number, TapeX, will be displayed on the `Device Info' tab. Flash-ASPI: If using Flash-ASPI on a Windows 2000, NT, 98 or 95 system with compatible ASPI drivers loaded: From a System DOS prompt, within the directory where both the firmware upgrade utility (Flash-ASPI) and the new firmware image file reside, type the command: Flash-ASPI x:y:z filename. image Where 'filename' is the selected firmware upgrade image file, and where 'x:y:z' are the Bus number, SCSI ID, and LUN number, respectively. To determine your Bus:ID:LUN numbers, run the command "Flash-ASPI" alone, with out the subsequent arguments. This will provide a list of attached devices with their respective Bus:ID:LUN numbers. To confirm your Bus:ID:LUN numbers in Windows NT, go to start > settings > control panel > tape devices. The Bus number, SCSI ID, and LUN number will be displayed on the `Settings' tab. To confirm your Bus:ID:LUN numbers in Windows 2000, right-click `My Computer', select Management > Device Manager. DLT-cup: If using DLT_cup on a Linux system with the SCSI generic device driver (sg) configured, either as a module or compiled into the kernel: Run the command: Dlt_cup /dev/sg?filename. image Where 'filename' is the selected firmware upgrade image, and where ?If there is only one tape device attached, this letter will usually be "A", however devices that were attached in the past may utilize "A". Run the command "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" to determine the letters assigned to your devices. The upgrade process: The flash process will take about two minutes. You will then see a series of dots on the screen as the image is sent to the drive over the SCSI bus. The program will then warn you not to power off the drive as the flash process begins. The servo is flashed first, during which you will see the 'Write Protect' (left) and 'In Use' (center) LEDs on the front panel flashing simultaneously. [. . . ] Note that it may be necessary to restart your system for it to recognize the tape device after power cycling.
