SCSI Tape Utilities Service Aid
This service aid provides a means to obtain the status or maintenance information
from a SCSI tape drive. Only some models of SCSI tape drive are supported.
The service aid provides the following options:
Display time since a tape drive was last cleaned.
The time since the drive was last cleaned is displayed onto the screen. In
addition, a message whether the drive is recommended to be cleaned will also
be displayed.
Copy a tape drive's trace table.
The trace table of the tape drive is written to diskettes.
The required diskettes must be formatted for DOS. Writing the trace table may
require several diskettes. The actual number of required diskettes will be
determined by the service aid based on the size of the trace table. The names
of the data files is of the following format:
'TRACE<X>.DAT' where 'X' is the a sequential diskette number. The complete
trace table consists of the sequential concatenation of all the diskette data files.
