Tape Drive Diagnostics

By expanding the DLT Tape Drive section, the firmware revision is available,
including descriptions of SCSI Bus, Target and LUN information. This
information is very important when troubleshooting or identifying devices in
complex enterprise environments. Physical tests can also be performed by
selecting Test Unit Ready and Buffer Tests. These tests are non-destructive, do
not require moving media to the DLT Tape drives, and can quickly determine
the health of drives. For in-depth diagnostics of a suspect drive in the TL895
Tape Library, consult the TL895 Tape Library Diagnostic Software Program
User Guide
(Part Number 340967-001).
