Important Information

If an error is encountered while attempting to use the Library and Tape Tools application for the LTO-1 drive, please ensure that the SCSI RAID driver on your system matches the latest available on support.dell.com. Dell recommends that you reboot the PowerVault 136T Tape Library and any server connected to the library following the completion of any firmware upgrade.

Note: When performing SCSI based drive firmware upgrades in Linux, if Yosemite Tapeware is installed on your server it must be closed and the "twunxsvc" service must be stopped. At the terminal type "/usr/local/tapeware/twunxsvc –x" to stop the service. Then perform the firmware upgrade steps. To restart the service type "/usr/local/tapeware/twunxsvc –s". If the above steps are not taken then the devices will not be found by the firmware upgrade tool.
