Hola.
Tengo un Storedge_L20 al que actualice el firmware al 111972-05 cuando cargue el archivo L20-SUN-1_05S-dnld_all, me reseteo la configuracion de la placa de red y tambien el password..!!! Lo upgrade via ftp, user: downlod y el pass: es el de administrador, hasta ese momento era: 11111111 (lo pusieron los anteriores dueños del equipo).
Ya porbe los pass por default que aparencen en internet y nada (12341234, no pass, 42311324), y con este modelo no se puede hacer nada sin el password de adminstrador.
Les agradeceria si alguien me puede ayudar de alguna manera.

Instructions for Updating Firmware in the L20/L40/L60 Series -- RMC Method
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following instructions explain how to, at a high level, upgrade the
firmware in the L20/L40/L60 series of libraries. The firmware that gets
updated is as follows:
Picker/Translator Assembly
Library Controller
RMC (Remote Management Control) Card
NOTE: The GUI interface may be a bit different depending on the firmware
level present on the RMC card but most people should be able to follow
the steps below and perform the upgrade.
Before starting the upgrade procedure, assure that the RMC card is functioning
properly and that an Administrator Password (done from front panel) is set
up for the library. Also note the IP address for the library to be upgraded
since the upgrade is done over the network by means of the host. If the RMC
card is not available, see below: Instructions for Updating Firmware via SCSI
Download Proceduret -- tload Method.
To upgrade the firmware, do the following:
1) Move the firmware files onto the directory-of-choice on the host.
2) Open the Mozilla browser and type in the IP address for the library
in the Mozilla Location field. When the connection is made, you
should see the the IP address followed by: main_id.html
3) During some upgrade installations, the NVRAM settings have been
corrupted, before downloading the firmware, document the following
information:
* SCSI I.D. for Library and all drives
* Admin password
* Network settings
4) From the left column of choice, click on: Configuration
5) A sub-menu will open, then click on: Firmware Download
6) The Firmware Download page opens (Source Firmware File). Enter the
location of the file or else click on Browse to find the file. Then
click on the appropriate firmware file until it is highlighted and
then click: OK
Due to firmware dependencies, multiple firmware loads may be required
or the unit may show partial availability. By rule:
If 1.05S is currently loaded, first load 1.25S, then load
1.33S, then load 1.55S, and finally load 1.71S.
If 1.25S is loaded, first load 1.33S, then load 1.55S, and finally load
1.71S.
If 1.33S is loaded, first load 1.55S, and finally load 1.71S.
If 1.55S is loaded, you may load 1.71S.
7) Check the Source Firmware File box and assure the driver file is
there, then click: Start Download
8) If the Java Security windows open, click Grant. This is your way
of giving permission to do the download.
9) When you are prompted for the Administration Password, enter the
password in the field.
10) If the password is accurate and accepted, a Reboot Warning Message
appears to assure it will be safe for the library to reboot
automatically.
NOTE: Assure that no backups or other important functions are occuring on
the library.
11) The Download Monitor window appears and some messages are displayed,
such as Flash Erase/Rewrite. Please note the Progress Monitor doesn't
always stay current. The activity is also displayed on the front panel
of the library.
12) The library does a power-on reset and the Download Status Window shows
Completed. Close the download status and Mozilla browser windows.
13) Open a new Mozilla browser and type in the IP address for the library
in the Mozilla Location field. When the connection is made, you should
see the the IP address followed by: main_id.html
14) Making sure a connection is still available to the library as shown
above, click on: Identify
15) The library will identify and show the latest loaded version of
firmware.
16) From the left column of choice, click on: Status
17) A sub-menu will open, then click on: Overview
18) If the Drive Status is OK for all attached drives go on to step 24.
19) If drive status is: "No drives were detected" From the front panel
of the L20/L40/L60, verify the SCSI IDs of the Library and Drives are
the same as documented in Step 3. If they have changed, reset the
original SCSI IDs.
20) Press the Shift key on the keyboard and click on the Mozilla browser
window Reload Icon at the same time. This will reload the library
information to the Mozilla browser window without taking the
information from cache.
21) From the left column of choice, click on: Status
22) A sub-menu will open, then click on: Overview
23) Verify the Drive Status is OK for all attached drives.
24) Repeat steps 4 through 23 for all remaining firmware files as required

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A.0 Solaris/Driver Requirements
-----------------------------------------------
Solaris 8 and later bundled with a uscsi compliant driver such as the 'sgen'
driver is required for this procedure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
B.0 Precautionary Statements
-----------------------------
**WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:**
B.1 The system MUST BE IDLE during the firmware download process! No
other programs should be running while this utility is being used.
Failure to do so may cause the devices being upgraded to fail or
the system to crash.
Any other computers sharing the same I/O bus as the host system
must be either disconnected or offline.
B.2 If any upgrade failures occur, do not continue upgrading devices.
For example, loss of power during download will result in damaged
peripherals and require replacement.
If any failures occur, please collect the following log file:
"/var/adm/messages", and an explorer dump. Please forward these
files to your service provider for analysis.
B.3 This package will only function on StorEdge L20/40/60 Tape Libraries.
B.4 Please READ instructions below completely BEFORE starting download
procedure. Follow the procedures carefully. You may program
multiple libraries at the same time, however, you may not exit the
utility until all libraries have completed the download process.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C.O Patch Installation and Utility Usage Intructions
-----------------------------------------------------
C.1 General guidelines for upgrading:
EJECT MEDIA FROM DEVICE TO BE UPGRADED. Download utility will
eject media from the device if it is found to be loaded. Do
NOT attempt to force media back into the drive.
STOP ALL APPLICATIONS. The system must be idle during the
firmware upgrade process.
DISCONNECT or take OFFLINE any other computers sharing the same
I/O bus as the host.
C.2 Firmware Dependencies and Download Order:
Due to firmware dependencies, multiple firmware loads may be required
or the unit may show partial availability. By rule:
If 1.05S is currently loaded, first load 1.25S, then load
1.33S, then load 1.55S, and finally load 1.71S.
If 1.25S is loaded, first load 1.33S, then load 1.55S, and finally load
1.71S.
If 1.33S is loaded, first load 1.55S, and finally load 1.71S.
If 1.55S is loaded, you may load 1.71S.
In case of any disruption or unforeseen events happening on the
relevant bus during the firmware download process, it may be
that the upgraded device becomes non-functional. In this event,
it will be necessary to replace the device. This would happen
as a result of an incomplete or corrupted firmware file being
downloaded. Loss of power during the upgrade process would also
damage the device.
**NOTE** If you cannot upgrade devices due to software application
interference, try booting off of the Solaris release CD.
**NOTE** After the firmware download is completed, it may be necessary
to power cycle the device to ensure fully resetting the device.
In turn, this may also require a successive reboot of the host
system to ensure all functionality is restored.
C.3 Procedure for L20/40/60 Tape Library Firmware Download:
The procedure to be used for upgrading the device's firmware is explained
below. Total upgrade time will be approximately 10-15 minutes for each device.
You must have root/super-user privileges in order to perform this operation.
a). Ensure you are logged in as root on the machine attached to the L20/40/60
tape libraries you wish to upgrade.
b). Unpack the patch (through tar) into any directory, e.g. /var/spool/patch
(Note, if the patch ends in a ".Z" suffix, you will need to first
uncompress it.) Example:
# uncompress <filename.tar.Z>
# tar xvf <filename.tar>
c). Modify the /kernel/drv/sgen.conf file so that the sgen target driver will
have a device link allowing access to the L20/40/60 tape libraries via a
/dev/scsi/changer device link.
SUGGESTED METHOD:
----------------
The sgen.conf.example file included with this patch may be utilized by
first moving /kernel/drv/sgen.conf to /kernel/drv/sgen.conf.bak. Secondly,
copy the included sgen.conf.example file to /kernel/drv/sgen.conf which
supports tape library target (changer) devices operating on a parallel
SCSI bus (SCSI target ID's 0-15 are supported).
After completing this task, run:
/usr/sbin/devfsadm -i sgen
to create the /dev/scsi/changer/c#t#d# device link.
MANUAL METHOD:
-------------
Note: If you have used the SUGGESTED METHOD, skip to step C.2.d below in
this section, else for manual sgen modifications:
Refer to /kernel/drv/sgen.conf and/or the sgen man page for instructions
on how to configure the sgen driver (included in Solaris 8 and later) to
support tape library target (changer) devices operating on a parallel SCSI
bus.
First, copy /kernel/drv/sgen.conf to /kernel/drv/sgen.conf.bak to ensure
preservation of the original sgen.conf file.
Modify /kernel/drv/sgen.conf to enable sgen attach to tape library target
(changer) devices operating on a parallel SCSI bus and enable the
appropriate SCSI target ID(s) for your L20/40/60 tape library.
The following lines must exist in /kernel/drv/sgen.conf after modification:
device-type-config-list="changer";
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0;
where target=<L20/40/60_SCSI_ID> (target is set to SCSI ID 0 above).
Uncomment the appropriate "name=..." lines to support your L20/40/60 tape
library SCSI target IDs. Do not modify the lun address as all L20/40/60
libraries use lun=0 in all cases.
After completing this task, run:
/usr/sbin/devfsadm -i sgen
to create the /dev/scsi/changer/c#t#d# device link.
d). In the patch directory, type the "tload" command to load the firmware:
# ./tload L20_SUN-1_71S-dnld_all
**NOTE** Do not rename the firmware filename or change it to lowercase
characters.
e). Select the device to be upgraded (see example below--the L20/40/60 tape
library corresponds to a Vendor ID of HP and Product ID of
C7200-8000).
f). Answer the question:
Do you want to download firmware to this tape device [N]?
with a 'y' for yes or anything else for no. Default answer is no.
**NOTE** While the SCSI Controller firmware is downloading, the LCD on the
library will display various messages. It is good practice to
monitor the LCD display while the download is occurring.
g). If there is an additional device to be upgraded (same device type
and desire to upgrade to the latest firmware), select that device
as previously done in C.2.e). & C.2.f). above. Continue in this
fashion until all desired devices have been upgraded.
h). Quit the "tload" program by typing '0' (see example below).
i). Repeat the above sequence of steps if you have had to make multiple
firmware upgrades to bring the device to the latest firmware revision.
j). After the device has been fully upgraded, the displayed tape device
list will be refreshed. Device(s) upgraded should reflect having
the new code level, "171S", in the "Rev" field (see example below).
k). Upon completion of upgrading all L20/40/60 tape libraries, the user may move
the /kernel/drv/sgen.conf.original file back to the original
/kernel/drv/sgen.conf file thus restoring the original sgen configuration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A.0 Solaris/Driver Requirements
-----------------------------------------------
Solaris 8 and later bundled with a uscsi compliant driver such as the 'sgen'
driver is required for this procedure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
B.0 Precautionary Statements
-----------------------------
**WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:****WARNING:**
B.1 The system MUST BE IDLE during the firmware download process! No
other programs should be running while this utility is being used.
Failure to do so may cause the devices being upgraded to fail or
the system to crash.
Any other computers sharing the same I/O bus as the host system
must be either disconnected or offline.
B.2 If any upgrade failures occur, do not continue upgrading devices.
For example, loss of power during download will result in damaged
peripherals and require replacement.
If any failures occur, please collect the following log file:
"/var/adm/messages", and an explorer dump. Please forward these
files to your service provider for analysis.
B.3 This package will only function on StorEdge L20/40/60 Tape Libraries.
B.4 Please READ instructions below completely BEFORE starting download
procedure. Follow the procedures carefully. You may program
multiple libraries at the same time, however, you may not exit the
utility until all libraries have completed the download process.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C.O Patch Installation and Utility Usage Intructions
-----------------------------------------------------
C.1 General guidelines for upgrading:
EJECT MEDIA FROM DEVICE TO BE UPGRADED. Download utility will
eject media from the device if it is found to be loaded. Do
NOT attempt to force media back into the drive.
STOP ALL APPLICATIONS. The system must be idle during the
firmware upgrade process.
DISCONNECT or take OFFLINE any other computers sharing the same
I/O bus as the host.
C.2 Firmware Dependencies and Download Order:
Due to firmware dependencies, multiple firmware loads may be required
or the unit may show partial availability. By rule:
If 1.05S is currently loaded, first load 1.25S, then load
1.33S, then load 1.55S, and finally load 1.71S.
If 1.25S is loaded, first load 1.33S, then load 1.55S, and finally load
1.71S.
If 1.33S is loaded, first load 1.55S, and finally load 1.71S.
If 1.55S is loaded, you may load 1.71S.
In case of any disruption or unforeseen events happening on the
relevant bus during the firmware download process, it may be
that the upgraded device becomes non-functional. In this event,
it will be necessary to replace the device. This would happen
as a result of an incomplete or corrupted firmware file being
downloaded. Loss of power during the upgrade process would also
damage the device.
**NOTE** If you cannot upgrade devices due to software application
interference, try booting off of the Solaris release CD.
**NOTE** After the firmware download is completed, it may be necessary
to power cycle the device to ensure fully resetting the device.
In turn, this may also require a successive reboot of the host
system to ensure all functionality is restored.
C.3 Procedure for L20/40/60 Tape Library Firmware Download:
The procedure to be used for upgrading the device's firmware is explained
below. Total upgrade time will be approximately 10-15 minutes for each device.
You must have root/super-user privileges in order to perform this operation.
a). Ensure you are logged in as root on the machine attached to the L20/40/60
tape libraries you wish to upgrade.
b). Unpack the patch (through tar) into any directory, e.g. /var/spool/patch
(Note, if the patch ends in a ".Z" suffix, you will need to first
uncompress it.) Example:
# uncompress <filename.tar.Z>
# tar xvf <filename.tar>
c). Modify the /kernel/drv/sgen.conf file so that the sgen target driver will
have a device link allowing access to the L20/40/60 tape libraries via a
/dev/scsi/changer device link.
SUGGESTED METHOD:
----------------
The sgen.conf.example file included with this patch may be utilized by
first moving /kernel/drv/sgen.conf to /kernel/drv/sgen.conf.bak. Secondly,
copy the included sgen.conf.example file to /kernel/drv/sgen.conf which
supports tape library target (changer) devices operating on a parallel
SCSI bus (SCSI target ID's 0-15 are supported).
After completing this task, run:
/usr/sbin/devfsadm -i sgen
to create the /dev/scsi/changer/c#t#d# device link.
MANUAL METHOD:
-------------
Note: If you have used the SUGGESTED METHOD, skip to step C.2.d below in
this section, else for manual sgen modifications:
Refer to /kernel/drv/sgen.conf and/or the sgen man page for instructions
on how to configure the sgen driver (included in Solaris 8 and later) to
support tape library target (changer) devices operating on a parallel SCSI
bus.
First, copy /kernel/drv/sgen.conf to /kernel/drv/sgen.conf.bak to ensure
preservation of the original sgen.conf file.
Modify /kernel/drv/sgen.conf to enable sgen attach to tape library target
(changer) devices operating on a parallel SCSI bus and enable the
appropriate SCSI target ID(s) for your L20/40/60 tape library.
The following lines must exist in /kernel/drv/sgen.conf after modification:
device-type-config-list="changer";
name="sgen" class="scsi" target=0 lun=0;
where target=<L20/40/60_SCSI_ID> (target is set to SCSI ID 0 above).
Uncomment the appropriate "name=..." lines to support your L20/40/60 tape
library SCSI target IDs. Do not modify the lun address as all L20/40/60
libraries use lun=0 in all cases.
After completing this task, run:
/usr/sbin/devfsadm -i sgen
to create the /dev/scsi/changer/c#t#d# device link.
d). In the patch directory, type the "tload" command to load the firmware:
# ./tload L20_SUN-1_71S-dnld_all
**NOTE** Do not rename the firmware filename or change it to lowercase
characters.
e). Select the device to be upgraded (see example below--the L20/40/60 tape
library corresponds to a Vendor ID of HP and Product ID of
C7200-8000).
f). Answer the question:
Do you want to download firmware to this tape device [N]?
with a 'y' for yes or anything else for no. Default answer is no.
**NOTE** While the SCSI Controller firmware is downloading, the LCD on the
library will display various messages. It is good practice to
monitor the LCD display while the download is occurring.
g). If there is an additional device to be upgraded (same device type
and desire to upgrade to the latest firmware), select that device
as previously done in C.2.e). & C.2.f). above. Continue in this
fashion until all desired devices have been upgraded.
h). Quit the "tload" program by typing '0' (see example below).
i). Repeat the above sequence of steps if you have had to make multiple
firmware upgrades to bring the device to the latest firmware revision.
j). After the device has been fully upgraded, the displayed tape device
list will be refreshed. Device(s) upgraded should reflect having
the new code level, "171S", in the "Rev" field (see example below).
k). Upon completion of upgrading all L20/40/60 tape libraries, the user may move
the /kernel/drv/sgen.conf.original file back to the original
/kernel/drv/sgen.conf file thus restoring the original sgen configuration.
