AIX Device Driver (Atape) Microcode Load This utility downloads microcode to the device from a file or a diskette (AIX format only). Note: To download the microcode from a DOS diskette, you must first use the AIX dosread command to transfer the file from the DOS diskette to the AIX file. Then you can use the Microcode Load utility to download the AIX file to the tape drive. To access this utility: 1. Open the Service Aids window. 2. Select Microcode Load from the IBM Tape Drive Service Aids window, then press Enter. 3. Select the device from the IBM IBMTape Drive Selection window, then press Enter. 4. Enter the source file name or device on the Prompting for Source File window. The default source is the /dev/rfd0 diskette drive. To load from a file, enter the file name. Press F7 to commit. Note: On certain terminal types, it may be necessary to press the Esc key and the number 7 key instead of F7. 5. If the current microcode on a tape drive is Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code, then a window opens and displays the following: Warning: The drive is currently using FIPS code. Press Enter to continue with downloading new drive code. If you do not want to download the new code, press either F3 to cancel or F10 to exit without downloading new code. Otherwise, press Enter to continue with the download code procedure. The Microcode Load operation starts, and a window opens when the operation is completed. Error Log Analysis This utility displays and analyzes the system error log entries for a specific tape drive and can be used for problem determination.

Open the Service Aids window. 2. Select Error Log Analysis from the IBM Tape Drive Service Aids window, then press Enter. 3. Select the device from the IBM Tape Drive Selection window, then press Enter. 4. If entries are listed in the error log for the selected device, then the first entry is displayed. Press Enter to display the next entry. 5. After all entries are displayed, a window opens, and the operation is completed. 50 IBM Tape Device Drivers Installation and User's Guide
