Introducing HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools
To provide continued service to our customers, HP provides the HP
StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) software application. L&TT is a
diagnostic tool that is designed to aid in the installation and maintenance of both
HP tape devices and tape libraries. L&TT includes several features designed for
use by both HP storage customers and trained service personnel. The key features
include:
■ Diagnostic tools for tape drive and tape automation devices designed for
simple troubleshooting.
■ Multiple options for retrieving and updating both the latest firmware and the
most current version of L&TT.
Frequent firmware image updates are released on the Internet. For optimal
performance, HP recommends that you update your system periodically with the
latest device firmware.

documentation that helps with the most common generic installation issues
while also describing how to use L&TT to verify the device installation.

connected to the system, along with key information on product configuration
and status.

functionality or to isolate product issues. Tests include device self-tests,

specific device utilities.
