Q24/Q48 Tape Library
To run Library verify test, navigate with OCP to the appropriate screen:
OCP screen: > Main Menu > Service > Service Library > Library Verify
Operations during the Library Health Check (LHC):
1. The test requires user interaction and can only be run from the OCP. The administrator password
is required.
2. The library performs a self-test, verifying that it can communicate with the tape drives.
3. The library returns any tapes from the tape drives to their home slots. If the home slot for a tape is
unknown, the library will move the tape to the mail slot and prompt the user to remove it.
4. The library then prompts the user to enter the number of cycles to run the test. The maximum is
10 cycles.
5. The library opens the mail slot and prompts the user to insert a scratch tape.
6. The user inserts a scratch tape into the mail slot. If the mail slot is disabled or the user closes the
mail slot without inserting a tape into it, the library will perform a shortened version of the test,
skipping step 7.
7. The library loads the scratch tape into the first tape drive, then unloads it and returns it to the mail
slot. If the user selected to test both the tape drives (if present), the library will load the scratch
tape into each tape drive before returning it to the mail slot.
8. The next test expects to find a tape in each of the top row corner slots of the two magazines. The
library moves each tape to the tape drive load point and then returns it to its slot. If none of the
top-row corner slot positions contains a tape, the test stops and the library displays an error
message.
9. If additional cycles remain to be run, the test will return to step 7 if there is a tape in the mail slot
or step 8 if not.
10. At the conclusion of the test, the library pops open the mail slot and waits for the user to remove
the scratch tape.
11. The library displays the test completion status, including any recoveries or errors that may have
occurred.
