G Upgrading Library Firmware
The library controller stores up to two versions of firmware. This allows the library to
continue normal operations, running one version of firmware, while you load and
unpack an upgraded version. Since activating firmware requires a reboot, this allows
you to upgrade firmware at a convenient time for library users.
After activating the upgraded code, the library retains the previous version of code, so
that you can revert without having to download and unpack it again. However,
reverting to a previous version of code is not recommended, you should only do so
when instructed to by Oracle support.
