Re-Use DLT4000 drive from Autoloader?
Hi,,
we just replaced 2 Overland Express Autoloaders by a new Quantum LTO loader, and now I'd like to re-use one of their internal DLT4000 drives as a replacement for an even older Quantum standalone DLT4000. The drives look fairly identical case-wise (cooling air intakes, front flaps etc) apart from the fact that the barcode sticker says "STANDALONE only" vs "LOADER only" and a different revision number, B03 vs. B01. Nevertheless I tried it out and the loader drive seems to work fine in the external case; also the Quantum xTalk diagnosis tool reported no problems. But obviously the loader drive has a different firmware, so I wasn't able to update it with the latest FW for the standalone drives (kept saying "INVALID PERSONALITY"). My Question: can I use the drive without running into problems, and where can I get a current FW "fitting" this drive? Doest anybody know what the FW differences are? thnx, rudi |
