Richard, No I've not tried that but make sure you are also on a new enough tape driver version for the new lib & drive FW. So Atape if you are on AIX. Upgrading that will entail removal and addition of the tape devices, so is best done with TSM down or at least not using drives.

Caterpillar: Confidential Green Retain Until: 18/09/2010 We are getting ready to upgrade the lib/drive firmware in our 3584 with 3592 tape drives. Just to do it, I downloaded the latest version of the 3584 manuals since my set were vvvvery old. I took a glance at the firmware upg procedure and read the following: "The TS3500 Tape Library offers a nondisruptive library firmware update, that is the ability to update library firmware withouth scheduling downtime and without interrupting job flow or reducing productivity. An IBM Service Representative can perform the update by using the CETool software applicante, or you can perform the update from the Web." Has anyone upgrade their 3584 lib firmware without taking all the drives offline in TSM?
