Chapter 3
Checking the setup
After installing the hardware and software, check the setup by performing some exercises on the library. (While these exercises are not required, it is a good idea to verify that your software and hardware are communicating properly before you begin operations.)
Use the options on the Diagnostic Menu to exercise the hardware. This determines whether the library hardware components are operating properly. See Chapter 7 for instructions.
Instruct the application software to load some cartridges into each tape drive. This determines whether the software and library are communicating properly.
Back up several megabytes of data to each tape drive and perform a comparison check on the backed up data. This determines whether the software and tape drives are communicating properly.
