B.0  Precautionary Statements
-----------------------------
 
**WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:**
 
B.1 The system MUST BE IDLE during the firmware download process!  No 
    other programs should be running while this utility is being used.  
    Failure to do so may cause the devices being upgraded to fail or 
    the system to crash.
 
B.2 If any upgrade failures occur, do not continue upgrading devices.
    For example, loss of power during download will result in damaged
    peripherals and require replacement.
 
    If any failures occur, please collect the following log file:
    "/var/adm/messages", and an explorer dump.  Please forward these 
    files to your service provider for analysis. 
 
B.3 This firmware will only function on an HP LTO-4 tape drives installed  with a Dione Encryption card.
 
B.4 Please READ instructions below completely BEFORE starting download 
    procedure.  Follow the procedures carefully.

C.O  Patch Installation and Usage Instructions
---------------------------------------------
 
C.1 General guidelines for upgrading: 
 
	EJECT MEDIA FROM DEVICE TO BE UPGRADED. VOP will not allow Dione 
        card firmware download to be performed unless the drive is unloaded. 
        Do not attemp to force media back into the drive.
 
        STOP ALL APPLICATIONS. The system must be idle during the
        firmware upgrade process.
 
        UPGRADE the firmware on the Dione card.  Follow the given 
 
        instructions in the procedure section below.
 
        In case of any disruption or unforeseen events happening on the 
        relevant bus during the firmware download process, it may be 
        that the upgraded device becomes non-functional.  In this event,
        it will be necessary to replace the device. This would happen 
        as a result of an incomplete or corrupted firmware file being 
        downloaded.  Loss of power during the upgrade process would also
        damage the device.
 
**NOTE**    After the firmware download is completed, it will be necessary
            to power cycle the tape drive to sync up the Dione card and the 
            HP tape drive. 
 
C.2  Procedure for Tape Drive Firmware Download: 
 
The procedure to be used for upgrading the Dione card firmware is explained
below.  Upgrade time will be approximately 10-15 minutes for each device. 
 
a). Unzip the patch into any directory, e.g. /var/spool/patch
        # unzip <filename.zip>
 
b). The firmware is installed using the Virtual Operator Panel (VOP).
    Refer to the StorageTek Crypto Key Management System
    documentation for installation instructions. 
 
NOTE:  Installation of Dione card firmware should only be completed
       by a trained Field Engineer.
