In order to provide maximum performance and reliability, it is recommended
Storage
IBM Business Partners that the latest version of microcode is installed on your IBM LTO tape
devices. These firmware updates are intended to, among other things,
increase overall reliability, improve tape handling, further reduce any Computer Tape
possibility of data errors, and provide continued enhancements to diagnostic Libraries
capabilities.
