HP StoreEver MSL6480 Tape Library User and Service Guide

Verifying the base or expansion module controller installation

1. Power on the library.

The first time the library boots with the new base module controller, the library displays the

OCP calibration test. Complete the touch panel calibration test, ensuring that you only press

the location on the OCP that is requested by the test.

The library will check the firmware version for each of the library modules and install the

firmware version from the base module controller on any expansion module controllers that

have a different firmware version. This process can take up to 30 minutes depending on the

configuration.

• If the base module controller was replaced, and replacement has a different firmware

version, the library will automatically install the firmware version from the base module

controller on any modules with a different version. If the replacement base module

controller had an earlier firmware version than the library, this can result in down-reving

the firmware in all the expansion modules.

• If an expansion module controller was replaced, the library will update the expansion

module firmware, if necessary, to match the rest of the library modules.

When this update process completes the library will reboot itself.

2. Using the OCP or RMI, click or tap Status > Hardware Monitoring to view the controller status.

3. Using the OCP or RMI, check for events; the event that indicated the controller was faulty

should be cleared.

4. Verify that the library has the most up-to-date firmware revision. To find the version of firmware

installed on the library, check the upper left corner of the OCP or RMI.
