Preparing Magnetic Tape Drives; Preparing Tape Cartridge Drives - DEC 4000 AXP Service Manual

This command initializes DUA1, and assigns the volume label TEST1 to the
disk. All volumes must have unique labels.
3. Mount the disk. For example:
$ MOUNT/SYSTEM DUA1: TEST1
This command mounts the volume labeled TEST1 on DUA1. The /SYSTEM
qualifier indicates that you are making the volume available to all users on
the system.
4. UETP uses the [SYSTEST] directory when testing the disk. If the volume
does not contain the directory [SYSTEST], you must create it. For example:
$ CREATE/DIRECTORY/OWNER_UIC=[1,7] DUA1:[SYSTEST]
This command creates a [SYSTEST] directory on DUA1 and assigns a user
identification code (UIC) of [1,7]. The directory must have a UIC of [1,7] to
run UETP.
If the disk you have mounted contains a root directory structure, you can
create the [SYSTEST] directory in the [SYS0.] tree.

3.4.4 Preparing Magnetic Tape Drives

Set up magnetic tape drives that you want to test by doing the following:
1. Place a scratch magnetic tape with at least 600 feet of magnetic tape in the
tape drive. Make sure that the write-enable ring is in place.
2. Position the magnetic tape at the beginning-of-tape (BOT) and put the drive
on line.
3. Initialize each scratch magnetic tape with the label UETP. For example, if
you have physically mounted a scratch magnetic tape on MTA1, enter the
following command and press Return:
$ INITIALIZE MTA1: UETP
Magnetic tapes must be labeled UETP to be tested. As a safety feature, UETP
does not test tapes that have been mounted with the MOUNT command.

3.4.5 Preparing Tape Cartridge Drives

Set up tape cartridge drives that you want to test by doing the following:
1. Insert a scratch tape cartridge in the tape cartridge drive.
2. Initialize the tape cartridge. For example:
$ INITIALIZE MKE0: UETP
