IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool | The Medium Changer subcommands are: | v devids / -o dvc | v mount | v unmount / demount | The Service Aid commands are: | v fmrtape | v forcedump / -o fdp | v reset | v ucodelevel / -o qmc | Standard Edition Scripting Commands: Known Limitations | and Deviations | When scripting, one should be aware of the following general deviations to the | legacy tapeutil scripting command set. | The Verbose Mode parameter is ignored for the ITDT-SE implementation; instead | always the full information is printed out. | For some operations, the sense data length is limited to 32 bytes - this is required | by the ITDT test sequences. | The list command may not work on some Linux x86 variants for ITDT-SE as well | as legacy tapeutil. | Due to the fact that ITDT-SE opens the device read/write by default in scripting | mode, the WORM mode can not be deactivated in scripting mode. Use the Tapeutil | interactive mode instead to deactivate the WORM mode. | Scripting mode command deviations to legacy tapeutil (tapeutil will not be | changed): | 1. The erg (Erase Gap) command will not be supported. | 2. The mtdevice command will not be supported. | 3. The tell command will not be supported. | 4. The seek command will not be supported. | 5. The format command will not be supported. | 6. The -o qsn command will not be supported. | 7. path/querypath/path / qrypath / checkpath / - o phs - output: always show | all paths. | 8. devinfo - different output (decoded on all platforms) | 9. inquiry - different output on Linux (like AIX in hex) | 10. vpd - different behavior on Solaris (like AIX) | 11. modepage - HP-UX and Solaris output deviations (like AIX) | 12. inventory - additional parameters on AIX available on all platforms | 13. cartridgelocation - AIX parameter deviation available on all platforms | 14. mediainfo - different output -> decode on all platforms | 15. setpos - logical vs. physical position, only set logical position as on AIX | 16. HPUX: -o gpo -t 1|2 --> parameter -t1|2 (logical, physical) is not supported. | 17. density - output all information on all platforms Chapter 10. IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool (ITDT) 311
