CAUTION: Restarting VLS device emulations changes the default virtual device LUN numbers if there is a gap in the LUN numbering, or if there is a tape drive whose LUN number is not consecutive with the other tape drives in the same library. The firmware changes the LUN numbers as necessary to remove the gap or to make the virtual tape drive LUN numbers consecutive in each library, so that the virtual device LUN numbering meets the operating system LUN requirements. When this occurs, on each host: • Rescan the SAN with the operating system for hardware changes. • Rescan for new devices with the backup application and update the backup application device files. CAUTION: Restarting VLS device emulations places the VLS cartridges back into the same library slots and tape drives they were in at the time of reboot/restart. To move the cartridges from tape drives back into the appropriate slots, use Force Unload from the task bar visible when you select the tape drive from the navigation tree.

After adding a virtual tape drive and the default LUN number assigned to it is not consecutive

with the other virtual tape drives in the same library

•

After deleting external array LUNs.

CAUTION:

Restarting VLS device emulations changes the default virtual device LUN numbers if

there is a gap in the LUN numbering, or if there is a tape drive whose LUN number is not consecutive

with the other tape drives in the same library. The firmware changes the LUN numbers as necessary

to remove the gap or to make the virtual tape drive LUN numbers consecutive in each library, so

that the virtual device LUN numbering meets the operating system LUN requirements. When this

occurs, on each host:

•

Rescan the SAN with the operating system for hardware changes.

•

Rescan for new devices with the backup application and update the backup application device

files.

CAUTION:

Restarting VLS device emulations places the VLS cartridges back into the same library

slots and tape drives they were in at the time of reboot/restart. To move the cartridges from tape

drives back into the appropriate slots, use

Force Unload

from the task bar visible when you select

the tape drive from the navigation tree.

To restart the VLS device emulations, from Command View VLS:

Click the

System

tab.

Updating the Firmware

CAUTION:

The VLS restarts automatically when you install a firmware update.

To update the VLS firmware:

Obtain the VLS firmware update zip file from HP.

Verify the file integrity of the downloaded file. See the firmware release notes for details.

In Command View VLS, click the

System

tab.

Select

Chassis

in the navigation tree.

Select
