Hi,
I am pretty sure it depends on your support contract. Upgrading drive/library
firmware is customer resp. Unless stated otherwise.
Kind regards,

You can upgrade the library and drive firmware yourself.

No HA here - could barely afford the upgrade. Besides, I though library
firmware was IBM's responsibility? My drives are fairly current and will

Thanks for the response. The library hasn't arrived (scheduled for 05/15)

The only non-drive external cables to the library would be Ethernet for
access to the web interface and either an analog phone line for the

As always, I keep saying thanks for your fount of knowledge/experience.
Sounds like there hasn't been a monumental change from the way the 3494

There is a lot of positioning and leveling and connecting and wiring and
testing by the FE when you have multiple frames.
I'd say 8 hours might be enough to do a single L-frame.
But 7 drive frames is a lot.

No.
You can define the control path on any (and all) drives.
The 2nd cable is if you want to have path failover configured on the drive.

One more question about this. The book isn't very clear about whether a
