1.

A visual representation of the selected product (the images are in grayscale).

2.

As with a standalone drive, this area provides the relevant information on the selected library
product.

3.

This provides a cartridge (media) inventory for all the drives and slots. The current status (full
or empty) of all the storage elements, bar code number (if bar code reading is available), and
media type are displayed here.

For more information on the drives within the library, select the Drive Information tab. This tab
displays a screen very similar to the one for standalone products, with the addition of the Selected
Drive menu.

All of the drives in the library are available in the Selected Drive menu. You can select and view
information for each drive using the menu.

NOTE:

Selecting individual drives within a library from the By Product or By Connection device

list displays the drive as though it were a standalone product. The recommended method of
diagnosing embedded drives is to first select the library they belong to, and then select the specific
drive within each tool window.

Using the firmware management screen

The firmware management functionality of L&TT allows easy upgrade to the firmware of the storage
product and the connected devices. L&TT uses special firmware files that associate the firmware
with a particular product. This feature prevents the user from downloading the wrong image and
ensures that the downloaded firmware is the same as, or a newer revision of the current device
firmware.

In order to upgrade the firmware for the devices, follow the below steps:
1.

Check the firmware versions.

2.

Acquire the firmware files.

3.

Upload firmware files to the devices.

To access the Firmware Management screen, select the devices you want to update in the device
list, then select the device listed on Update Firmware tab as shown in

Figure 10 (page 24)
