RAID Array 410 HSZ40 HSOF Software Version 3.7 for Compaq Tru64 UNIX Release Notes

Release Notes
AA–RMBXA − TE Page 35
The HSZ40 controller has the capability to perform firmware upgrade "code
loads" to tape drives included in its storage subsystem configuration. This code
load capability is manually accessed via the HSUTIL program in the
controller. The code load procedure requires that there be no tape in the drive.
In rare circumstances, HSUTIL in these controllers incorrectly determines that
there is a tape in the target drive, and refuses to perform the firmware upgrade.
You have likely encountered this problem if the following occurs:
• You are attempting to do a firmware upgrade to a TZ87, TZ88, TZ89, or
any associated Automated Tape Library
• You are using program HSUTIL in the controller
• There is no tape in the target tape drive
• You receive a HSUTIL dialog similar to the following:
After you answer the next question, the code load will
start.
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n] ? y
HSUTIL is doing code load. Please be patient.
Error at PTL 3.4.0. Sense key:05 ASC/Q:24/8D.
The tape cartridge must be removed to update the tape
drive firmware.
The cartridge is in the drive. Please unload.

The recommended work around is to use the built-in firmware upgrade
capability of the tape device itself. This is done by using a specially prepared
tape containing an image of the firmware upgrade code, and manipulating the
tape drive and/or Automated Tape Library loader controls to activate the built-
in firmware upgrade function of the tape drive or loader.
Please contact your service representative for further instructions on
performing this procedure.
