Diagnosing a Suspect EDLM Drive

It is possible that any tape errors could be the result of a bad EDLM
drive. A ticket will be generated indicating a possible bad EDLM drive.
To diagnose a suspect EDLM drive, it is recommended that users either
create a 'known good tape' or use a tape that has verifiable, accurate
data.
If there is no 'known good tape' available and users are not confident
that a tape is providing accurate data, they can contact Quantum
Service and ask if an EDLM Diagnostic Tape is available to test their
suspect EDLM drive.
