Tape cartridges must be labeled UETP to be tested. As a safety feature,

UETP does not test tape cartridges that have been mounted with the MOUNT

command.

3.4.5.1 TLZ06 Tape Drives

During the initialization phase, UETP sets a time limit of 6 minutes for a TLZ06

unit to complete the UETTAPE00 test. If the device does not complete the

UETTAPE00 test within the alloted time, UETP displays a message similar to

the following:

-UETP-E-TEXT, UETTAPE00.EXE testing controller MKA was stopped ($DELPRC) at 16:23:23.07

because the time out period (UETP$INIT_TIMEOUT) expired or

because it seemed hung or because UETINIT01 was aborted.

To increase the timeout value, type a command similar to the following before

running UETP:

$ DEFINE/GROUP UETP$INIT_TIMEOUT "0000 00:08:00.00"

This example deﬁnes the initialization timeout value as 8 minutes.

To run UETP on an RRD42 compact disc drive, you must ﬁrst load the test disc

that you received with your compact disc drive unit.

Terminals and line printers must be turned on to be tested by UETP. They must

also be on line. Check that line printers and hardcopy terminals have enough

paper. The amount of paper required depends on the number of UETP passes

that you plan to execute. Each pass requires two pages for each line printer and

hardcopy terminal.

Check that all terminals are set to the correct baud rate and are assigned

appropriate characteristics (see the user's guide for your terminal).

Spooled devices and devices allocated to queues fail the initialization phase of

UETP and are not tested.

Make sure that no other processes are sharing the Ethernet adapter device when

you run UETP.
