L&TT automatically scans the system for supported devices when the tool is started. By default, only the
current number of devices found is displayed during the I/O scan. Additional information such as host
adapters, drivers, and matching of embedded drives to the associated library can also be shown during
the scan process. Scan results can be saved in an event log and attached to a support ticket email if
necessary.

L&TT identifies and displays a list of all products connected to the system by product group or by
connection. Tabs allow the user to toggle between the following commands in this area of the main
screen: scan, by product, by connection, and instructions.
By product displays four categories: libraries/autoloaders, drives, enclosures/processors, and
other devices; all with the specific device address.
By connection shows all products connect to the system by the HBA they are connected to; aids in
understanding system I/O performance issues.

All of the main functions of L&TT are displayed in this window. The content of the window depends on
the device and tool function selected. Device information may include a visual presentation of the
product, compatible media, and cartridge (media) inventory for all the drives and slots. General product
information such as product ID, drive technology, mechanism serial number, firmware revision, SCSI
target ID, and SCSI LUN will also be displayed.

If 'check for updates on Web' is enabled in the preferences menu, L&TT will automatically look for new
firmware files for each supported device on the system when the application is run. If files are found, the
application will ask the user if they should be downloaded to the application. By default, the latest
firmware files for the devices on the system will be shown. L&TT will scan the local firmware folder and if
the latest versions are not present, it will automatically select them for download. Users then perform the
standard firmware update function to perform the actual update to each device.

Firmware Management
This L&TT functionality allows easy upgrades to the storage product firmware. By default, the tool will
select all of the devices that have newer revisions of firmware in the L&TT firmware file folder. L&TT
automatically matches the appropriate firmware files to each storage device. If multiple versions of
firmware are available, selection boxes can be used to select the desired file. All drives are downloaded
in parallel to reduce update time. All firmware update processes provide final results which can be saved
in an events log and sent to HP support if necessary.
