Service: Run Tests menu The following library diagnostics are available in this menu: v System Test - this test exercises library components by moving customer data cartridges from slots to drives and back to slots. No data is written or read from the customer tapes. To run this test successfully, the library must contain at least one data cartridge for every drive present in the library. v Slot to Slot Test - The Slot To Slot test will move each resident data cartridge from one slot to another, for each test cycle requested. When completing the Slot To Slot test, you will need to Inventory your library before placing it back online, since this test scrambles the cartridge slot locations. Note: After running the System Test or the Slot to Slot Test, the library will need to be re-inventoried. It might be required to reboot the library after library diagnostics completes to ensure proper library re-detection on some backup applications. Service: Service (Drives) Chapter 5. Operations 5-31
