• Fixed a case where there was a loss of communication between the master Library and lower Library while downloading firmware with L&TT simultaneously into two or three half-height tape drives that are located in the lower Library of an extended library configuration. Error code BA 00 is issued by the extended library and a full power cycle is required to recover the extended library configuration. The firmware download to the drives completed without errors. Compatibility note When using firmware version 4.40 (MSL2024), 6.70 (MSL4048), 9.10 (MSL8096) or newer revisions with the Encryption Kit, any key server tokens set with an odd number of characters for the PIN will not be totally backwards compatible in Autoloaders or Libraries with code revisions 2.10, 4.00, 6.30, or 8.70. In those cases, a token in an Autoloader or Library with 2.10, 4.00, 6.30, or 8.70 firmware revisions will be able to accept the PIN for the token and access keys on the token, but the user will not be able to change the PIN on the token, save the keys to a file, or restore the keys from a file until the Autoloader or Library firmware is upgraded. Users should always upgrade to the latest version of firmware to ensure complete compatibility. Installation instructions To upgrade firmware from the RMI: 1.

Compatibility note
When using firmware version 4.40 (MSL2024), 6.70 (MSL4048), 9.10 (MSL8096) or newer revisions
with the Encryption Kit, any key server tokens set with an odd number of characters for the PIN will
not be totally backwards compatible in Autoloaders or Libraries with code revisions 2.10, 4.00, 6.30,
or 8.70. In those cases, a token in an Autoloader or Library with 2.10, 4.00, 6.30, or 8.70 firmware
revisions will be able to accept the PIN for the token and access keys on the token, but the user will
not be able to change the PIN on the token, save the keys to a file, or restore the keys from a file until
the Autoloader or Library firmware is upgraded. Users should always upgrade to the latest version
of firmware to ensure complete compatibility.
