and higher support library configurations up to 41U. Make sure you are
running the appropriate firmware version to support the size of your
library. It is recommended that you use the most current version of
firmware regardless of library size.
It is recommended that you resolve and close all open RAS tickets before
upgrading library firmware. If Auto-Ticket Closure is enabled, all open
RAS tickets will be closed during the reboot which occurs after firmware
is upgraded (see Closing RAS Tickets Automatically on page 380).
Saving the current library configuration before you upgrade library
firmware is recommended in case the upgrade fails. After you have
upgraded the firmware, save the library configuration again. For more
information, see Saving and Restoring the Library Configuration on
page 384.
It is also a good idea to capture a library snapshot information before
making any significant change to your system such as upgrading library
firmware. Technical support personnel can, if necessary, use the snapshot
file to troubleshoot the library. For more information, see Capturing
Snapshots of Library Information on page 381.
Caution:
If you are currently running library firmware version
320G.GS004 or 400G.GS006, you must first install and run
the Library Service Utility before upgrading firmware. If
you do not first run the Library Service Utility, then the
firmware upgrade may not complete successfully. The
Library Service Utility and installation instructions are
located in the “.zip” file that contains the firmware
download files.
If you are currently running library firmware prior to
version 320G.GS004, do not upgrade to version
320G.GS004 or 400G.GS006, but instead upgrade to the
latest version. You will not need to run the Library Service
Utility.
