Convert an MO Jukebox to UDO or Mixed-Media Technology
14 3800ux/7100ux Optical Jukebox Conversion Guide
Upgrade the firmware
Before performing the hardware conversion, upgrade the firmware to the correct level for
UDO jukeboxes.
Note: Use HP StorageWorks Library & 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 .
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. (If there are two SCSI interface PCAs, connect
to the PCA that is attached directly to the module.)
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 AA969A for a UDO-only conversion.
■ Download firmware for an AA974A for a mixed-media conversion.
Note: This will require 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 OCP. Also, the jukebox
display will likely show DEVICE FAILED. Again, this is because the MO hardware, which is HVD or
S/E SCSI, is still in place, and UDO requires LVD.
5. Wait until the jukebox is at the READY or DEVICE FAILED or FIRMWARE MISMATCH
state after the download.
6. If a laptop is connected to the jukebox in step 3, power off the jukebox and disconnect the
laptop at this time.
