Firmware  Upgrade on the 3600 Lib if  multiple drives are installed :

Use the TapeTool CD :  ( see Infotips , Document  ID: 

But from the CD. The CD should detect the used SCSI controller, and then it  goes on to
detect  the tape drives and the library.

After 15 sec, it  will automatically  start  the firmware  update  of the first drive, that  needs to
be updated. ( The CD  will always start with the drives first , before continuing with the
firmware of the Library unit )

After  the update  of the drive you  might  see a warning  that  the software  could not verify
if the tape firmware  had changed, as the drive would need a power cycle to complete the
firmware  update.

At  this time, this warning  it  OK. Normally  you  would now reboot  the Library  ( power cycle )
and after this reboot  the server so  that the SCSI  but gets re scanned. But  DON'T do this now.. 
There  is a another way  of  doing it.

The 3600 library  has one feature , that  allows you  to  powercycle one drive on its own or 
better to take a drive out of the library without disconnecting the SCSI BUS.  This feature is
called " ONLINE-Drive Repair "

For this follow those steps :
Here are the steps:                                                            
1st) 	go to the main menu  
2nd) 	select 3 for going to the "Administrator Menu" 
3rd) 	press "MORE" (second button from the right)  
4th)	select 2 for " on-line drive repair"  
5th)	you get the option 1 for "Put drive Off-line"
6th) 	by accepting this , the drives you selected is going  offline and 
	the library  is describing  to  you  how to  determine what  drive it  is
7th)  	if  you  want  to  set  another drive off-line press the "MORE" button
	to go to the next  drive.
8th) 	go to  the back of the library and unscrew the tape drive that is off-line.
	(screws are  on the top and the bottom of the drive, not the middle two)
9th)	unplug the drive, wait some seconds and replug the drive,
	don't  move it  totally out  of its position, something  like 5 cm are OK
10th) 	replug the drive and screw it  back on.
11th) 	follow step  one to four
12th)	select 2 for " on-line drive repair" 
13th) 	you should now see if one of the drives is Off-line, this drive should
	normally appear first and you have the option  to press either "Next"
	or "More" or the opportunity to press 2  for  " set drive on-line" If you 
	get the option 1 for "Put drive Off-line", then please chose the next
	button, so that you go to the other drive and repeat step 13     

From the back  of the library  you  can determine when the drive is back online .

Now go  to  the server, type "X:" for changing  to  the CD-ROM drive 
And then start the program again  by  typing  " go " or  "go.bat"

The tape detection will follow and  the next  drive gets updated, 

Continue this  process until the last  drive is updated, at  last  the software  should then update  the 
Library firmware ... 

After this do  a full power  off /Power  on cycle of the Library  and the server.
