Re: How to upgrade firmware on a 3573-L2U tape drive -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

On the FTP page, the 73P5 though 89B2 entries are various versions of tape
drive firmwares. The L3 & L4 indicate LTO3 or 4. The next letter is the
connect type (F=Fibre, S=SCSI, A=SAS). If there's an H after that letter,
that's firmware for a half-height drive. So if you have a Fibre LTO4 that
isn't half-height, the latest firmware would be 89B2L4F. Get the tar or zip
version; whichever is appropriate for you. Tar is for Unix/AIX.

After the firmware has been applied, get the Common_730.zip for the library
firmware.

How do I pick which file to use to upgrade the firmware?
