Library Operation Running an Internal Test Table 4-10 Tests Available from the Control Panel 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 FAIL if there are no cartridges in the library or if all storage slots are full. The drives, transport, and mailslot must be empty. IO MAGAZINE 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 empty slot. It then moves the tape back to its original storage slot. This test displays FAIL if there are no cartridges in the library or if all storage slots are full. The drives, transport, and mailslot must be empty. IO MAILSLOT Makes a combination of moves with a PASS/FAIL result. It moves a tape cartridge from a randomly-chosen full slot to the mailslot. It then moves the cartridge back to its original slot. This test displays FAIL if there are no cartridges in the library or if all storage slots are full. The drives, transport, and mailslot must be empty. INVENTORY CHECK Functions the same as the SCSI Initialize Element Status (ISTAT) command. This test physically scans the entire unit to determine which storage slots contain tape cartridges and if the drives contain cartridges. NOTE: This test appears as "INVENTORY CHECK" in all control panel error messages. TEST TRANSLATE Translates from side to side. No tape cartridges are required. TEST VERTICAL Moves the transport mechanism up and down the full length of the rail. Returns PASS/FAIL. No tape cartridges are required. WELLNESS TEST Checks out the general capability of the library. Runs INIT MECHANICS and EXERCISE MECH. Each test is run one time per test loop. Library Operation 4-37
