Library Operations

Diagnostics screen

The Diagnostics screen allows you to perform the following diagnostic tests on the library (see Table 7).

Note: The library must be off-line to run diagnostic testing.

Table 7: Diagnostic tests

Test	Description
Robotics Self Test	Checks for unrestricted motion of the library robotics.

Robotics to	Calibrates the library robotics and sets it to the bottom of the
Home Position	library with the optical sensor facing the back.

Calibrate	Checks the position of all panels and columns, checks that the
Cabinet	picker is aligned with the slots.

Sequential Slot	Performs an inventory of the library, then checks each slot in the
Test	library, sequentially, to determine whether there is free
	movement of the tapes in and out of the slots.

Sequential Drive	Performs an inventory of the library, then checks drives in the
Test	library, sequentially, to determine whether it is communicating
	properly with the drives.

Random Test	Performs an inventory of the library, then randomly selects and
	runs one of the tests.

Random Slot	Performs an inventory of the library, then checks a sampling of
Test	slots in the library, in random order, to determine whether there
	is free movement of the tapes in and out of the slots.

Random Slot to	Performs an inventory of the library, then checks a sampling of
Drive Test	drives in the library, in random order, to determine whether it is
	communicating properly with the drives and whether there is free
	movement of the tapes into and out of the slots.

The Sequential Slot Test, Sequential Drive Test, Random Test, Random Slot Test, and Random Slot to Drive Test can be run from 1-500 times, or continuously until the test is manually ended. For each drive or slot test, running it once will check one drive or slot, whereas running it 100 times will check 100 drives or slots. If tests are run more times than there are drives or slots, the library will test drives or slots multiple times until it has performed the requested number of tests.
