Test Name
Description
EXERCISE MECH
Runs the
VERTICAL TEST
,
TRANSLATE TEST
,
MAGAZINE IO
,
DRIVE IO
, and
MAILSLOT IO
tests. Each test is run one time per test loop.
EXCHANGE DEMO
Do not run test if library contains customer data cartridges.
Moves randomly-chosen cartridges to random storage slot locations. This test
displays
FAIL
if there are no cartridges in the library or if all storage slots are
full. For best results, the library should contain as many cartridges as there are
drives, plus two additional cartridges. The transport and mailslot must be empty.
IO DRIVE
Makes a combination of moves with a PASS/FAIL result. It moves a tape
cartridge from a randomly- chosen full slot to a randomly-chosen drive. It then
moves the cartridge back to its original slot. This test displays
