All attempts to get my drive and changer firmware updated have failed.
So I wont be able to add another "tested by" to this thread unless I can find another drive.
Even using Doug's method fails to actually update. Seems to suck up the image and then do nothing.
Lands up in getting hung and needs a full power reset.
The image I have is the correct image.
I dont want to try to many convoluted methods because I dont want to brick the changer.
Its the only one I have for doing all the st driver testing here at Red Hat in the GSS team.
Thanks

Yes probably, it reports "MaxPartitions 0", should be 1 for an LTO-5
drive. Weird.
