Hi All I'm doing microcode updates from AIX on several tape libraries during the coming weeks, and I've just done the first one on a TS3500/3584.
Using the tapeutil tool's "tape drive service aids" (because there is no ethernet connection to the library - I know!) the library upgrade took 25 minutes to download its 6 or so megabytes. I then used the ITDT tool to update the drives and that only took a few minutes for each. I don't have the luxury of a test environment. Has anyone tried to use the ITDT tool to upgrade their *library* microcode, and if it worked, was it any faster than the other way? Thanks Steve. Steve Harris TSM Admin Sydney Australia
