The easiest way we have found is to use the tapeutil utility and download
the code to the drives from the server side.  You just offline the drives
one at a time and perform the upgrade.  Super easy!

Good luck,

Greg

Hi TSM'ers,

I have a quick and perhaps simple question. We have to upgrade the firmware
on all our 10 3590 drives and for this we need to put the Library in Pause
mode.

My question is: Should I stop TSM during this time? Or should I just put
all
the drives offline?
Is there anything else I should do on TSM?


Thanks in advance,

Beatriz
