Upgrade Tandberger VXA Tape Drive Firmware

Got a few new tapes today for a Tandberg VXA-2 drive today and they had RED labels with caution symbols on them saying “UPGRADE VXA DRIVE FIRMWARE TODAY”. I can take a hint and decided to do it. Their website search was not very helpful on finding how to upgrade the firmware, but it is a very easy process. The first thing you need to do is to download and install the VXA Tool on the machine with the tape drive attached. http://www.exabyte.com/support/online/downloads/downloads.cfm?did=622

Once you have that downloaded open up the VXA Tool program and from the main screen select ‘update drive firmware’.  You can select to have it upgrade the firmware automatically (the default and recommended) or you can have it update the firmware from a file manually.

If you want to download the firmware manually you can go to: http://www.tandbergdata.com/us/en/support/drivers-and-downloads/ and select ‘firmware’ from the download menu and VXA2 from the ‘product’ menu
