Unlock Transport
Unlocks the transport assembly without power
cycling the library. The transport must have
already been locked to use this test.
NOTE:
The transport assembly automatically
unlocks when library is powered on.
Test Transport
Comm
Exercises the infrared communications path
between the library controller and the transport
controller. Reports the health of this link. If the
test passes, the infrared communication link is
good.
Show All Sensors
Dynamically displays the state of sensors. To
toggle door sensors, open and close the doors. To
toggle the mailslot sensor, open the mailslot to
access the first two tapes.
Demonstration
CAUTION:
Run an inventory check from the
host backup application after performing this
test to ensure that tapes are returned to their
original locations
Selects a random full storage slot, moves the
tape to the drive, and repeats the process until
all drives are full. The test locates a full slot, a
full drive, an empty slot, and then performs an
exchange.
