Converting an MO Jukebox to UDO or Mixed-Media Technology

14 1000ux/1900ux/2300ux Optical Jukebox Conversion Guide

Upgrading the firmware

Before performing the hardware conversion, upgrade the firmware to the correct version for

UDO-libraries.

Note: Use HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) to get the proper firmware. Download

this software and the corresponding user’s guide on the Web from

http://www.hp .com/support/tapetools

To upgrade the firmware:

1. If there are disks in any of the drives, use the control panel to remove them.

2. Record the customer’s default configurations so that the jukebox can be correctly restored,

if necessary.

Go to the CONF* menu on the control panel to access and display the current jukebox

configurations.

Caution: Do not switch off power to the jukebox until you are sure the SCSI bus is inactive.

Switching off the jukebox when the SCSI bus is active can cause data loss and/or

indeterminate bus states.

3. If the host computer does not have HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT), you

will need to connect to a laptop that does have L&TT to update the jukebox firmware. To

do so, perform the following tasks:

a. Power off the jukebox.

b. Ensure that your host computer is also powered off and disconnect it from the

jukebox.

c. Remove any cable connections to the single-ended ports on the interface module.

d. Connect a SCSI cable between your laptop computer and the 50-pin single-ended

SCSI ports on the SCSI interface PCA.

e. Power on the laptop computer and the jukebox.

4. Follow the HP StorageWorks L&TT instructions to download the UDO jukebox firmware.

■ Download firmware for an AA965A for a UDO-only conversion.

■ Download firmware for an AA968A for a mixed-media conversion.

Note: This requires an override because the UDO firmware does not match the hardware ID string,

which is still MO technology. Set CONFIG 40 to ON from the jukebox Operator Control Panel

(OCP). Also, the jukebox display will likely show DEVICE FAILED. Again, this is because the MO

hardware is still in place.

5. Wait until the jukebox status is READY or DEVICE FAILED or FIRMWARE MISMATCH

after the download.

6. Power off the jukebox.

7. Disconnect the laptop computer.
