Verifying/updating firmware

It is important to run the latest level of firmware. To ensure that you are running

the latest levels of library firmware, drive firmware, and SNMP MIB (Management

Information Base) file, complete this procedure.

Verify the SNMP MIB file that is installed on your SNMP server. Verify the

levels of library and drive firmware that is installed on your library by

completing the following steps:

Expand

Monitor Library

in the left navigation pane of the Web User

Interface.

Click

Library Identity

and make note of the Firmware revision.

Click

Drive Identity

and make note of the Firmware revision.

Log out of the Web User Interface.

Note:

The SNMP MIB file is an optional feature.

Download the latest library firmware, drive firmware, and SNMP MIB

(Management Information Base) file from http://support.dell.com.

Note:

The SNMP MIB file is an optional feature.

Enter in your internet browser address field and press

Enter

on your

keyboard.

Compare the firmware level available on the web to the levels that you

made note of in step 1. If you are running the latest levels of library and

drive firmware, proceed to the next step. If you are not running the latest

levels of library and drive firmware, download the firmware that must be

updated to your library host.

Update library and drive firmware on your library, if necessary.

Enter the IP address of your library in your internet browser address field

and press

Enter

on your keyboard.

Expand

Service Library

in the left navigation pane of the Web User

Interface.

Click

Upgrade Firmware

Browse to the new firmware level on your host, then click

Update

. Do this

updating for both library and drive firmware, if necessary.

Install the MIB file on your SNMP server. Refer to your server application

documentation for instructions.

Choosing general library settings

If your library contains one drive or logical library, both general and specific

settings are combined into one table (see Figure 4-22 on page 4-24).
