 T10000D Microcode Version 4.08.105 Changes

Changes since 4.07.107 code.

Note: The FSC's listed here are associated to very specific 'foot prints' or failure scenarios related to that specific FSC. The fact that the FSC gets listed in these instructions is in no way implying that the FSC will not be seen with this version of code, as there are multiple ways (or foot prints) for a drive to present a specific FSC or FSC/s.
This release of code includes fixes to issues/bugs identified with prior releases of T10KD code. These are listed below by BugDB Number.

FSC Synopsis:
37A0
Fixes one footprint of a 37A0 SNO.
0930
Fixes one footprint of a 0930 SNO.
347F
Fix 347F Perm Write at EOT. HP Data Protector restore spanned sessions.
505C
Fixes a rare 505C tension loss bug.
5535
Fixes a nuisance 5535 load error.
2B56
Fixes intermittent 2B56 SNO by upgrading internal Qlogic FW.
36F6
Fixes one footprint of a 36F6 SNO.
2B5C
Fixes intermittent 2B5C SNO by upgrading internal Qlogic FW.

T10000D 4.08.105 Servo Code Changes

The T10000D tape drive will detect certain reel motor conditions that it deems as potentially harmful and will SNO with 1 of these 5 FSCs:
5919, 591A, 591B, 591C, 5C62.
As part of the SNO process the tape media will be slowly rewound back into the cartridge and unloaded. (if possible)
After the drive detects one of these severe servo conditions:
- Any attempt to load a cartridge will result in a FSC 5940.
- There may be a stuck cartridge scenario if the drive hardware is not functioning well enough to slowly rewind the media.
- The drive needs to be replaced.
