Embedded Firmware

Operating firmware is resident on the HBC card from the factory. The features of the 

firmware are explained in the following sections.

Security

Access to the Library Console is secured by a fixed set of user accounts at the site. The 

site user accounts include the customer administrator, StorageTek customer service 

engineer (CSE), and third party field service technician.

The Library Console security system requires activation of the site user accounts with 

an activation password (see 

).

Operating Firmware

Some key features of the SL8500 firmware are:

1. Two firmware versions may be held on the HBC card. When firmware is upgraded, 

the earlier image of firmware remains in memory and may be restored if required. 

2.  Auto Discovery of additional tape drives

3.  Auto Discovery of new cartridge slots and added libraries

Automatic handling of dynamic World Wide Name (dWWN) assignments (See
