			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you know, upgrading Tape Drive firmware can be a big pain. Fortunately, Quantum has a quick and easy way to do it using a Windows application. The only thing you need is a Windows host that is on the same SAN as the tape drive you want to upgrade! So here&#8217;s how to upgrade the firmware on Quantum SDLT drives!</p>
<ol>
<li>Download and install <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/SDLT320/Index.aspx" target="_blank">StorageCare Sage iTalk for Windows<br />
</a> (Located under the <em>Diagnostics </em>tab)</li>
<li>Download and unzip the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.quantum.com/ServiceandSupport/SoftwareandDocumentationDownloads/SDLT320/Index.aspx" target="_blank">SDLT drive firmware<br />
</a> (Located under the <em>Firmware </em>tab)</li>
<li>The current firmware on the website is v96 (aka 6060)</li>
<li>Launch the iTalk software and Scan for devices if they do not show up automatically</li>
<li>Locate the drive you want to upgrade from the left panel</li>
<li>Right-click on the drive and choose the <strong>FUP Drive</strong> option</li>
<li>Select the firmware .img file that you unzipped and click OK</li>
<li>Wait several minutes until the firmware update is complete!</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Connect the appropriate RS232 serial cable from your PC to the IP Power 9258</li>
<li>Open Hyperterminal (or your favorite serial connection client)</li>
<li>Set the following parameters:<br />
<code> Bits per second: 19200<br />
Data bits: 8<br />
Parity: None<br />
Stop bits: 1<br />
Flow control: Hardware </code></li>
<li>Hit the OK button to establish a connection</li>
<li>Power cycle the IP Power 9258 device in order to capture the serial port output</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article will show you how to reset the passwords for all accounts (root, admin, etc) on a Brocade Silkworm switch. This method has been successfully tested on a Silkworm 3800. But before you go through these steps, first try these passwords for the &#8216;root&#8217; and &#8216;admin&#8217; accounts:</p>
<ul>
<li>fibranne</li>
<li>fibreanne</li>
<li>password</li>
<li>default</li>
</ul>
<p>If none of the above passwords work, you will need to use these steps to reset the switch password:</p>
<h3>Password recovery for Fabric OS v2.x and v3.x</h3>
<p>To reset the passwords on a Fabric OS v2..x and v3.x switch using the Password Recovery firmware (you must obtain this by contacting Brocade Support and supplying them with the S/N and/or WWN of the switch:</p>
<p>1. Copy the Password Recovery firmware to a host that is accessible to the switch; either an FTP server or a laptop (running an FTP server) directly connected to the ethernet port. You must use either FTP or RSHD to copy the firmware. If FTP is used, the password cannot be blank.</p>
<p>2. Connect to the console port.</p>
<p>3. Power the switch off and back on.</p>
<p>4. Set the boot parameters on your switch to perform a netboot:</p>
<p>a. At the “[VxWorks Boot]” prompt for the switch, enter <strong>c.</strong></p>
<p>b. Type the requested information at the prompts. To accept the default value for a parameter, press Enter.<br />
The parameters are defined as follows.<br />
<code><br />
Press any key to stop auto-boot...<br />
[VxWorks Boot]: c<br />
'.' = clear field; '-' = go to previous field; ^D = quit<br />
boot device : fei<br />

gateway inet (g) : 192.168.132.133<br />

ftp password (pw) (blank = use rsh):<br />
flags (f) : 0x0<br />
target name (tn) : sw2800<br />
startup script (s) :<br />
other (o) :<br />
</code><br />
5. Type <strong>@</strong> at the [VxWorks Boot] prompt to begin booting the Password Recovery version of the firmware from the network.<br />
<code><br />
[VxWorks Boot]: @<br />
boot device : fei<br />
processor number : 0<br />

file name : resetPasswd303f6f<br />

</code></p>
<p>6. Turn off the switch and turn on again.</p>
<p>7. Press any key when you see the message “Press any key to stop autoboot&#8230;” This provides access to the boot prompt.</p>
<p>8. Set the switch to boot from the flash again:<br />
a. At the [VxWorks Boot] prompt, type <strong>c</strong> to begin resetting the boot parameters to the default settings.<br />
b. Remove the values that you added by typing a period (.) after each parameter, then pressing Enter. The boot parameters are returned to the default settings.</p>
<p>9. Turn off the switch and turn on again to reload the original firmware from flash. The switch resumes normal operation.</p>
<p>10. Log in to the switch by telnet or serial as root, and set new passwords for all accounts.</p>
