Upgrading the PowerVault 110T LTO2L Tape Drive Firmware 
Extract instructions
Windows and Netware
Download and run the file “R113041.exe” from a Microsoft Windows Based System.  
This will create the directory: x:\dell\drivers\R113041\ containing
Linux
1.	Copy the file R113041.tar.gz file to the Linux system.
2.	Open a console session and go to the directory where the file was saved and type the command: tar –zxvf R113041.tar.gz

This will extract all files and relevant subdirectories to the current directory.

The following files will be extracted.
readme.htm  -  installation instructions in HTML format
readme.txt  - installation instructions in text format
V17855228-452.IMG  – Firmware image file
/Windows/DFU.exe – executable for Windows Environments.
/Linux/DFU – executable for Linux Environments.
/Netware/DFU.nlm – executable for Netware Environments.

IMPORTANT:  If you have back up applications running services such as Backup Exec or Arcserve you should stop the services from running at this time. For help on stopping the services see your Software Documentation.
Windows 2000/2003 Instructions
1.	Go to the directory x:\dell\drivers\R113041\Windows.  Double Click on DFU.exe.   A console screen will open up which will display general information regarding the utility.
2.	Press enter to begin the Utility.  The utility will search the system for attached Tape devices and display a table of devices found.
3.	Each tape device found on the system will be represented by a device number.  Select the device number for the device you wish to upgrade.
4.	A new screen will be displayed which will provide you with a new list of commands.  Select 1 – Load Device Firmware.
5.	At the next prompt enter the path to the firmware image file i.e. x:\dell\drivers\R113041\V17855228-452.IMG and press return.
 	CAUTION: Do not remove power to the tape drive during this process.
6.	The console application will begin to update the firmware and provide a status throughout the process.
7.	Once the application completes, the screen will display the final status.  If no errors occurred press return and the application will return to the device selection screen.  If an error is found, please consult the DFU User’s Guide.
8.	If no other drives are to be updated enter the E option and press return to exit the application.
Linux Instruction
 	Note Linux must be Enterprise Version 3 or higher with compiler GCC 3.2.3.  If using earlier versions of linux i.e. AS 2.1 tools will not function due to GCC support.  Either move drive to a supported Linux system or a Windows system to perform update.

1.	Open a console session and go to the directory where the files were extracted i.e. /dell/drivers/R113041/
2.	Type the command: ./linux/dfu and press return.  A console application will start and display general information regarding the utility.
3.	Press enter to begin the Utility.  The utility will search the system for attached Tape devices and display a table of devices found.
4.	Each tape device found on the system will be represented by a device number.  Select the device number for the device you wish to upgrade.
 	Note: if you do not see any devices check cabling and make sure the sg module is loaded.  

You can issue command “lsmod | grep sg”.  If nothing is returned type the command “modprobe sg” to start the sg service.

5.	A new screen will be displayed which will provide you with a new list of commands.  Select 1 – Load Device Firmware.
6.	At the next prompt enter the path to the firmware image file i.e. x:/dell/drivers/R113041/V17855228-452.IMG and press return.
 	CAUTION: Do not remove power to the tape drive during this process.
7.	The console application will begin to update the firmware and provide a status throughout the process.
8.	Once the application completes, the screen will display the final status.  If no errors occurred press return and the application will return to the device selection screen.  If an error is found, please consult the DFU User’s Guide.
9.	If no other drives are to be updated enter the E option and press return to exit the application.
 	Note: If running the DFU utility from Console session 1, the following message may be displayed:

(scsi0:A:2:0): parity error detected in Data-in phase. SEQADDR(0x1a6) SCSIRATE(0x93)

The scsi0:A:2:0 value defines the SCSI identification of the tape device.  During the update process the tape device will reset after the firmware is downloaded to the device.  As the device is restarted, the DFU application issues queries to the device.  These queries will result in the SCSI DATA-in Phase messages from the Operating system because the device is not yet ready.

This is a warning message from the OS and can be disregarded as it does not indicate any failures.   These messages should not be displayed if running the utility from X-Windows or any other console session.
