SCSI Commands

SEND DIAGNOSTIC Command (1Dh) (continued)

Two levels of unit-resident diagnostic tests can be accessed:

Electronics Self-Test (Level 1 Test)

To invoke this level of diagnostic test, a major portion of the controller hardware and software must be functioning properly. The test is based on the premise that full power-up testing is not necessary, therefore, it is an extension of the power- up self tests that are run. The code ROM EDC is verified, two queues used by much of the controller software are checked by dequeuing and enqueuing items.

If a loader (Medium Changer) is configured, the test attempts a software reset on the loader. This test does not attempt a WRITE or READ to or from the tape medium. When complete, any errors that occur are reported in the extended Sense Data bytes. This Level 1 test has an execution time of approximately five

(5) seconds.

Specify the Electronics Self-Test by setting the Selftst bit to 1, and both the DevOfl and UnitOfl bits to 0.

Read / Write Functionality Test (Level 2 Test)

The default version of this test does the following:

1.Writes 500 32 KB records on track 0 (forward motion)

2.Rewinds the tape.

3.Reads the records.

4.Positions to the beginning of track 1 (backward motion)

5.Writes 500 32 KB records on track 1.

6.Repositions to the beginning of track 1.

7.Reads the records.

8.Rewinds the tape.

The execution time for this Level 2 test is approximately 6 minutes, if calibration is not required. Specify the Read/Write test by setting both the Selftst bit and the UnitOfl bit to 1 and ensuring that the DevOfl bit to 0.

A level III (or test type III) is available with user defined parameters.
