The Sequential Slot Test, Sequential Drive Test, Random Test, Random Slot Test, and Random Slot to Drive
Test can be run from 1-500 times, or continuously until the test is manually ended. For each drive or slot
test, running it once will check one drive or slot, whereas running it 100 times will check 100 drives or
slots. If tests are run more times than there are drives or slots, the library will test drives or slots multiple
times until it has performed the requested number of tests.
For example, if a library has 25 full slots and a sequential slot test is set to run 50 times, the library will
test slots 1-25, then begin at 1 again and test through 25. If you set the same library to run the sequential
slot test 60 times, it will test 1-25, 1-25, then 1-10.
