You can upgrade the library and drive firmware yourself.

For the library, you download the file from IBM to your
pc.  Then through the web gui, you run library firmware
upgrade.  It's a simple procedure where you point to the
firmware file, and it upgrade the library.  Takes about
1hr.  The library is offline during this process.

For Drives, you download the latest firmware file to
your pc.  Then through the GUI you tell it to
upgrade drives.  You can upgrade all drives at once,
or individually one at a time.  THere are a couple
options for how to install/activate the code.  The
easiest way is to tell the library to load, then
activate it when the next time the drive is empty.
At that point the library power cycles the drive.
This works for all except the drives that are defined
for control paths.  Those you need to powercycle
yourself at some point.

You can certainly have IBM do it, but sometimes
it's just easier yourself.
