No other programs should be running while this utility is being used. Failure to do so may cause the devices being upgraded to fail or the system to crash. Any other computers sharing the same I/O bus as the host system must be either disconnected or offline. B.2 If any upgrade failures occur, do not continue upgrading devices. For example, loss of power during download will result in damaged peripherals and require replacement. If any failures occur, please collect the following log file: "/var/adm/messages", and an explorer dump. Please forward these files to your service provider for analysis. B.3 This firmware will only function on a Sun StorEdge C4 Library. B.4 Please READ instructions below completely BEFORE starting download procedure. Follow the procedures carefully. You may program stacked library configurations at the same time, however, you may not exit the utility until all libraries have completed the download process. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C.O Patch Installation and Usage Intructions --------------------------------------------- C.1 General guidelines for upgrading: STOP ALL APPLICATIONS. The system must be idle during the firmware upgrade process. DISCONNECT or take OFFLINE any other computers sharing the same I/O bus as the host. UPGRADE the tape library. Follow the given instructions in the procedure section below. In case of any disruption or unforeseen events happening on the relevant bus during the firmware download process, it may be that the upgraded device becomes non-functional. In this event, it will be necessary to replace the device. This would happen as a result of an incomplete or corrupted firmware file being downloaded. Loss of power during the upgrade process would also damage the device. **NOTE** If you cannot upgrade devices due to software application interference, try booting off of the Solaris release CD. **NOTE** After the firmware download is completed, it will be necessary to power cycle the device to ensure fully resetting the device. In turn, this may also require a successive reboot of the host system to ensure all functionality is restored. REFER TO USER MANUAL for detailed instructions on how to perform this upgrade. C.2 Procedure for C4 Tape Library Firmware Download: Launch the Library On-Board Remote Managment Console from a Web based browser by entering the IP address of the Library in the address bar. The first page of the On-board Remote Management Console Web page is the Home page. This page includes information on the library status, Online, Offline, Initilizing so on. The library status is on the top left hand section of the page. Accessing another page for the first time from the Home page requires you to enter a username and password.

Select the Maintenance tab (to the right). Caution: Before you perform the upload, make sure there are no processes or applications accessing the autoloader. If there are, shut down the process or application, or pause the operation, until the upload completes. To upload the library firmware: 1. Press Browse button to select the V14 firmware image file on the host computer. The filename will be PX500_Universal_ENGLISH_V14-0.img. 2. Press Apply to begin the library firmware upload. Note: Do not interrupt the process. Wait for the upload to finish (this takes approximately 3 minutes). At the end of the upload, the autoloader must be power cycled before the new code takes effect. At the completion of the download the following message will be on the web page: Upgrade Complete Firmware update completed. You may Reboot now or wait until a later time. Note the updated firmware will not take effect until the library is rebooted. Press the reboot button. The library will now continue the initization process After the library is upgraded, the Revision level can be checked from the Front Panel of the library. Press Info button Select Overview Press Enter OCP will show Build V14.0 The firmware revision is indicated in the Status box from the On-Board Remote Managment Console (Software Version V14.0). PROBLEMS Any problems regarding this upload by the user following proper procedures should be reported to the user's service provider along with the following items: 1) /var/adm/messages file 2) explorer dump ************************************************************************** ************************************************************************** README -- Last modified date: Tuesday Nov 07, 2006 README -- Last modified date: Wednesday, November 8, 2006
