Cautions for Using the WRITE BUFFER Command
CAUTION
Be sure to follow these cautions when issuing the WRITE
BUFFER command:
The WRITE BUFFER command allows you to load new
microcode from the SCSI bus into the CTS. It is not
intended to be used for testing CTS functionality
(that is, do not issue this command unless you are actually
loading new microcode).
Do not load microcode from one model of CTS into
another. (For example, do not load microcode from an
EXB-8505 into an EXB-8205 or from an EXB-8505XL into
an EXB-8505.)
Be sure that the CTS is reserved for the initiator’s
exclusive use while the WRITE BUFFER command is
executing.
The CTS must be allowed to disconnect from the SCSI bus
during the WRITE BUFFER operation. (Set the DiscPriv
bit to 1 in the Identify message.)
Do not send other SCSI commands, such as TEST UNIT
READY, to the CTS while the WRITE BUFFER
command is executing.
Do not power off or reset the CTS while this
command is executing.
If a reset, hardware failure, or power failure occurs during
the execution of this command, the CTS may not be able to
operate. If this occurs, you can use the CTS Monitor
program to reload microcode (from a *.BIN file) through a
serial cable attached to the CTS’s Monitor port. (See the
documentation for CTS Monitor for complete instructions.)
Note: If there is a tape in the CTS, it will be unloaded and ejected.
