Upgrading to LTO-3 Tape Drive Modules 3

This document provides information about upgrading the Dell™ PowerVault™ 132T tape library

from LTO-1 or LTO-2 tape drives to LTO-3 tape drives. You must perform the following

procedures:

• Install drives

• Update the tape library firmware

• Configure the tape library (native Fibre Channel drives only)

Installing Drives

LTO-3 tape drives for the PV132T tape library are offered as SCSI drives or native Fibre Channel

(FC) drives. Configuration options will vary depending on the type of LTO-3 drive you have.

• SCSI drives — An LTO-3 tape drive may co-exist with an LTO-1 or LTO-2 tape drive in the

PV132T if the logical unit number (LUN) partitioning feature is enabled. See the system

documentation on

support.dell.com

for details on how to enable this feature.

• Native FC drives — These drives cannot be placed in the same library with SCSI drives;

therefore, when upgrading to a native FC LTO-3 drive, all existing LTO-1 or LTO-2 drives

must be removed from the tape library.

NOTE: If you are installing only one drive module in the library, that module must be in the centermost

drive bay. In addition, if partitioning was previously enabled, it must be disabled before replacing the

drive.

CAUTION: Before performing this procedure, read and follow the safety instructions in your Product

Information Guide.

To install drive modules, perform the following steps:

Turn off the tape library and disconnect the power cable.

Disconnect the SCSI cable that connects the tape library to the host system.

On the back of the library, remove the cover plate (see Figure 1-1) or the drive module

that you want to replace by loosening the thumbscrews.

NOTE: If you remove the cover plate, store it in a convenient place. The cover plate is required for

proper operation and cooling of the library if the optional drive is removed.

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

Figure 1-1. Removing the Drive Module Cover Plate

Carefully slide the new LTO-3 drive module into position. See Figure 1-2. The metal edge

on the drive module should be inserted into the plastic guide on the left side of the drive bay.

Figure 1-2. Inserting the Drive Module

Tighten the four thumbscrews on the drive module until it is flush with the chassis.

Recable the tape library.

• For SCSI, connect the drives to the host using SCSI cables and terminate the bus.

• For native FC, use an FC cable with an LC connector to attach the LTO-3 drive to an FC

host bus adapter or switch. Be sure that the connector on the other end of the FC cable

matches the device to which the LTO-3 drive is being attached.

Reconnect the tape library to an electrical outlet.

Updating the Tape Library Firmware

You can update the firmware using one of the following methods:

• Using the tape library serial port

• Using the remote management unit

You must download the latest firmware package from the Dell Support website at

support.dell.com

. After you extract the package, the firmware files will be located at

c:\dell\drivers\r

xxxxx

\Library\LTO\

, where

xxxxx

is the release number of the downloaded firmware

package.

NOTE: In addition to updating the tape library firmware, the firmware for the Remote Management Unit

(RMU) should be upgraded as well. Also, if you plan to connect your SCSI LTO-3 drives to a Storage Area

Network (SAN) using the PowerVault 132T Storage Network Controller (SNC), then the firmware for the

SNC module will need to be upgraded. The RMU and SNC firmware are included in the package you

downloaded. Follow the instructions included with the firmware package to upgrade these components

after the tape library firmware has been upgraded.

NOTE: After installing the drivers and updating the appropriate firmware, reboot the host server to

ensure proper device recognition. You may also need to reconfigure your backup software to recognize

the new LTO-3 drives. See your backup software documentation for device configuration instructions.

Updating Firmware Using the Tape Library Serial Port

Turn on the tape library.

An error message may appear on the LCD that reads

Drive Error

Drive Offline

Ignore this message, as this behavior is normal until the tape library firmware has been

updated.

Connect one end of a straight-through serial cable to the serial port of the tape library (not

the serial port for the RMU).

Connect the other end of the serial cable to a COM port on the system that has the updated

firmware that you downloaded.

Open a command prompt in the Microsoft

Windows

operating system and change to the

directory that contains the downloaded firmware file.

NOTE: The downloaded firmware file is located at c:\dell\drivers\rxxxxx\Library\LTO\, where rxxxxx is

the release number of the downloaded firmware package.

Type the following command at the command prompt:

PV132T_LTO_Update <COM#>

where <COM#> represents the COM port number on the system where the serial cable was

connected.

6Upgrading to LTO-3 Tape Drive Modules

Press <Enter>.

The firmware update takes approximately 8

–

10 minutes. A summary of the firmware update

displays at the command prompt when the firmware update has completed.

Reboot the library after the firmware update completes.

Libraries with new native FC LTO-3 drives will display a SCSI Error message on the LCD.

Ignore this message, continue to the next step, and then follow the steps under "Configuring

the Tape Library".

Verify the new firmware level of the library. The firmware level can be verified via the library

front panel or by going to the main Web page of the remote management card. The firmware

version is listed in the

Library

Firmware

field.

Updating Firmware Using the Remote Management Unit

Turn on the tape library and wait for it to completely initialize.

An error message may appear on the LCD that reads

Drive Error

Drive Invalid

Ignore this message, as this behavior is normal until the tape library firmware has been

updated.

Open a Web browser on the system that contains the downloaded firmware files.

Enter the IP address of the RMU that is installed in the library that requires the firmware

update.

If you are using Internet Explorer on a Windows Server™ 2003 system, the RMU must be a

member of Internet Explorer’s list of trusted sites. If the device has not been added to the list

or you are not certain that it is on the list, perform the following substeps. If the RMU is

already on the list of trusted sites, or if another operating system or Web browser is being

used, skip to Step 5.

In Internet Explorer, select

Internet Options

from the

Tools

menu.

Select the

Security

tab.

Select

Trusted sites

Click the

Sites

button.

Add the IP address of the PowerVault 132T remote management card to the list of trusted

sites.

Click

Done

and then click

to exit the Internet Options.

On the main page, click the

Firmware

tab.

Enter the administrator user name and password for the library. The default user name is

admin

and the default password is

password

Click

Update Library Firmware

in the

Select target for update

box that appears.

Upgrading to LTO-3 Tape Drive Modules 7

Click

Browse

and select the new firmware image that you downloaded.

NOTE: The downloaded firmware file is located at c:\dell\drivers\rxxxxx\Library\LTO\, where rxxxxx is

the release number of the downloaded firmware package. The firmware image filename will end in .lif.

Click

Update Firmware

to start the update. Do not power-cycle or reset the tape library until

the firmware update completes.

Reboot the library after the update completes.

Libraries with new native FC LTO-3 drives will display a SCSI Error message on the LCD.

Ignore this message, continue to the next step, and then follow the steps under "Configuring

the Tape Library."

Verify the new firmware level of the library. The firmware level can be verified via the library

front panel or by going to the main Web page of the remote management card. The firmware

version is listed in the

Library

Firmware

field.

Configuring the Tape Library

This section applies only to LTO-3 upgrades to native FC drives. For the library robotic controller

to be seen by hosts, the library configuration must be updated. Once the following steps have been

completed, the library controller will be presented to host systems across the same target ID as the

tape drive.

With the library powered on, navigate the Operator Panel to

Setup



Config Slots

Change the

Mode

setting to

Lun

If you have two FC tape drives and want to set the library up as two logical partitions, change

the

Mode

setting to

Lun-Lun

. See the system documentation on

support.dell.com

for

additional information about partitioning.

The library will automatically reboot to enable the new configuration.
