Select Service Library > Key Path Diagnostics to run diagnostic tests of the encryption key path if the
drive in your Model S4H, S5H, S6H, S7H, or S8H, library is set up for library-managed encryption. Key
Path Diagnostics run tests for the tape drives, network connection, EKM path, and the EKM
configuration.
| Note: Verify the device is Offline at the host prior to exercising any service functions. Ensure that any
media in the drive is moved from the drive.

The test consists of four parts:
v Drive Test - The library completes a drive communication test to confirm communication with the
drive Ethernet test.
v Ethernet Test - The library pings each EKM server IP address and records the result.
v EKM Path Test - The library completes an EKM communication test for each EKM server IP address
that passed the Ethernet Test. The library sends an LDI Crypto Diagnostics command to the drive.
This drive command causes the drive to send a test message to the EKM verifying that the application
is up and running.
v EKM Config Test - The library completes an EKM configuration test for each EKM server IP address
that passed the EKM Path Test. The library sends an LDI Crypto Diagnostics command to the drive.
This drive command causes the drive to establish a link and obtain a default key from the EKM. This
test verifies that the drive is correctly configured in the EKM.
Click Start to run the diagnostics tests.
