Convert an MO Jukebox to UDO or Mixed-Media Technology Upgrade the firmware Before performing the hardware conversion, upgrade the firmware to the correct level for UDO jukeboxes. Note: Use HP StorageWorks Library & Tape Tools (L&TT) to get the proper firmware. Download this software and the corresponding user's guide on the web from http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools. 1. If there are disks in any of the drives, use the control panel to remove them. 2. Record the customer's default configurations so that the jukebox can be correctly restored, if necessary. Go to the CONF* menu on the control panel to access and display the current jukebox configurations. Caution: Do not switch off power to the jukebox until you are sure the SCSI bus is inactive. Switching off the jukebox when the SCSI bus is active can cause data loss and/or indeterminate bus states. 3. If the host computer does not have HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT), you will need to connect to a laptop that does have L&TT to update the jukebox firmware. To do so, perform the following tasks. a. Power off the jukebox. b. Ensure that your host computer is also powered off and disconnect it from the jukebox. c. Remove any cable connections to the single-ended ports on the interface module. d. Connect a SCSI cable between your laptop computer and the 50-pin single-ended SCSI ports on the SCSI interface PCA. (If there are two SCSI interface PCAs, connect to the PCA that is attached directly to the module.) e. Power on the laptop computer and the jukebox. 4. Follow the HP StorageWorks L&TT instructions to download the UDO jukebox firmware. ■ Download firmware for an AA969A for a UDO-only conversion. ■ Download firmware for an AA974A for a mixed-media conversion. Note: This will require an override because the UDO firmware does not match the hardware ID string, which is still MO technology. Set CONFIG 40 to ON from the jukebox OCP. Also, the jukebox display will likely show DEVICE FAILED. Again, this is because the MO hardware, which is HVD or S/E SCSI, is still in place, and UDO requires LVD. 5. Wait until the jukebox is at the READY or DEVICE FAILED or FIRMWARE MISMATCH state after the download. 6. If a laptop is connected to the jukebox in step 3, power off the jukebox and disconnect the laptop at this time. 14 3800ux/7100ux Optical Jukebox Conversion Guide

Completing the Conversion	35
Overview	35
Testing the conversion	36
1. Connect the jukebox to power.	36
2. Power on the jukebox by setting the power switch to the on position.	36
3. Verify that the display comes on. It may still read DEVICE FAILED, but that is acceptable at this point. If the display does not come on, check the cabling.	36
Finishing the firmware upgrade	37
1. Power on the jukebox, if necessary, and wait for the power on sequence to complete.	37
2. Select ADMIN* > CONF* on the control panel, then use the NEXT key until you see RESTORE DEFAULTS in the display.	37
3. Press ENTER to select RESTORE DEFAULTS, then wait until WAIT FOR UPDATE is no longer shown.	37
4. Connect to a host running L&TT, if necessary.	37
a. Power off the jukebox.	37
b. Connect to the jukebox the computer which hosts L&TT.	37
c. Power on the jukebox.	37
5. Power off and on the jukebox (you must do this a second time even if you performed the previous step).	37
6. When the jukebox displays READY, run L&TT to ensure that the jukebox and all drives are found.	37
7. If necessary, upgrade the firmware for all of the drives using L&TT.	37
8. The jukebox firmware should already be up-to-date. If it is not, update it now.	37
9. Verify proper jukebox operation:	37
a. Check for proper drive operation by running a “random write and verify” for approximately 2 minutes.	37
b. Using a new disk or a re-writable with unneeded data, check for proper jukebox operation by running the “wellness test.”	37
10. Enter any customer configurations that are different from the default using the CONF* menu.	37
11. If the jukebox was connected to a laptop to run L&TT, reconnect it to its usual controller.	38
a. Power off the jukebox.	38
b. Power off the computer running L&TT and disconnect it from the jukebox.	38
c. Reconnect the host computer to the jukebox.	38
d. Power on the jukebox, then wait until the jukebox shows READY in the display.	38
e. Power on your host computer.	38
Labeling the jukebox	39
1. Use Table 6 to select the correct nameplate and product label.	39
Table 6: Select product label	39
2. Place the product label partially over the existing product label inside of the jukebox, making sure the serial number above the buffer board module remains uncovered.	39
3. Place the new product nameplate on the front of the jukebox, covering the existing nameplate.	39

Convert an MO Jukebox to UDO or Mixed-Media Technology

3800ux/7100ux Optical Jukebox Conversion Guide

Upgrade the firmware

Before performing the hardware conversion, upgrade the firmware to the correct level for

UDO jukeboxes.

Note:

Use HP StorageWorks Library & Tape Tools (L&TT) to get the proper firmware. Download this

software and the corresponding user’s guide on the web from

http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools

If there are disks in any of the drives, use the control panel to remove them.

Record the customer’s default configurations so that the jukebox can be correctly restored,

if necessary.

Go to the

CONF*

menu on the control panel to access and display the current jukebox

configurations.

Caution:

Do not switch off power to the jukebox until you are sure the SCSI bus is inactive.

Switching off the jukebox when the SCSI bus is active can cause data loss and/or

indeterminate bus states.

If the host computer does not have HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT), you

will need to connect to a laptop that does have L&TT to update the jukebox firmware. To

do so, perform the following tasks.

Power off the jukebox.

Ensure that your host computer is also powered off and disconnect it from the

jukebox.

Remove any cable connections to the single-ended ports on the interface module.

Connect a SCSI cable between your laptop computer and the 50-pin single-ended

SCSI ports on the SCSI interface PCA. (If there are two SCSI interface PCAs, connect

to the PCA that is attached directly to the module.)

Power on the laptop computer and the jukebox.

Follow the HP StorageWorks L&TT instructions to download the UDO jukebox firmware.

■

Download firmware for an AA969A for a UDO-only conversion.

■

Download firmware for an AA974A for a mixed-media conversion.

Note:

This will require an override because the UDO firmware does not match the hardware ID

string, which is still MO technology. Set

CONFIG 40

from the jukebox OCP. Also, the jukebox

display will likely show DEVICE FAILED. Again, this is because the MO hardware, which is HVD or

S/E SCSI, is still in place, and UDO requires LVD.

Wait until the jukebox is at the

READY

DEVICE FAILED

FIRMWARE MISMATCH

state after the download.

If a laptop is connected to the jukebox in step 3, power off the jukebox and disconnect the

laptop at this time.
