Re: ITDT tool, microcode update on 3580

Follow up to this, the issue is that this drive looks the same as my other
drives but this one is an LTO-2 drive where my other drives are LTO1. I had
to download the LTO2 microcode 73V1L2S.RO and then it worked.

Errors out, I did have these links but nothing in them really seemed to
help me figure out why it was failing to update the code. I have 5 drives
and one went bad, the old drive had the code level that I want on it and the
new one is back level'd. I guess I will have to search some more to see
what it might be. The scan portion works fine, just the api call doesn't
work for me unless I should be doing the update of it via the ITDT tool and
if so not sure on how to do that part.

Does "eventually bombs off" mean to imply the "but nothing
happens" noted later?

Although probably the quoted text is directly from the following
link, note that there are "trouble shooting" [not sure why that is
not "troubleshooting"] instructions included there plus ITDT link
where a minimum PTF level is noted in a readme file:

I need to update the firmware on a old 3580 drive. I attempted it
with this but it eventually bombs off:

CALL QTAUPDDV (TAPYY ‘/DIR/XXXXLYT.ro’)
Be sure to include the spaces.

/DIR/ indicates the directory where the firmware image resides.
YY indicates the TAP device number.
XXXX indicates the firmware image version.
Y indicates the drive generation (1 for Ultrium 1, 2 for Ultrium 2)
T indicates connection type (F for fibre channel, S for SCSI)

I can get into the ITDT tool via QSH and come to a screen where
you can select and M to do a microcode download, I select it but
nothing happens, any ideas as to how I can get this to work,
thanks.
