Corrected various issues with feature card removal and replacement.
Improved reporting of read/write errors on the LOH card.
The library status now reads ”Operative, Auditing, Online” while the top level audit job is running.

The following LTO drive firmware versions have been verified in the SL4000 library. For the drives to work correctly, ensure the drives are at the minimum versions specified in the table below. Lower drive firmware versions may work, but are unreliable. For the IBM LTO drives to run in ADI mode, switch 5 must be on.
