Firmware

	V51 Library Firmware Most recent library firmware available for a PX502. Caution:With the release of firmware V51, the media changer’s Fibre Channel (FC) World Wide Port Name (WWPN) has been changed to be consistent with other Quantum Scalar libraries and FC target devices. In the prior firmware release, the WWPN was equal to the World Wide Node Name (WWNN). In V51 the WWPN is now a value of one greater than the WWNN. The media changer’s World Wide Port Name value is reported on the Remote Management Pages under Setup -> SCSI/Fibre -> Connectivity/Fibre. When upgrading from a prior firmware revision, this change may result in library not being available to the host in FC SAN configurations that employ persistent binding and/or zoning in FC switch(es). An update to persistent bindings settings or rezoning of the FC switch(es) may be required. I have read this notice \| I have not read this notice.
