Diagnostic tests
The following table shows a description of each diagnostic test.
Test Description
Check inventory Physically scans the entire library to determine which slots and drives contain tapes.
Recalibrate library Performs the power-up self-tests. Each test runs one time per test loop. This test recalibrates
the mechanics and clears any hard error.
Test vertical motion Moves the vertical assembly to the bottom of the library, then to the top, while the transport
moves around its lateral range. Upon completion of these moves, the transport assembly
stops.
Test lateral motion Moves the transport assembly to a random slot. No tape is required.
Test magazine moves Moves a tape from a random slot to a random empty slot, and then returns the tape to its
original slot.
Wellness test Moves a tape from a random slot to an empty drive, repeats the process until all drives are
full, and then returns all tapes to their original slots.
Rewind media Rewinds the tape in the drive.
Attention: Do not run this test if the drive contains a tape that is receiving data from the
host.
Lock transport Locks the transport assembly in place to enable you to move the library.
Note: The transport assembly unlocks automatically when the library is turned on.
Unlock transport Unlocks the transport assembly after moving the library.
Note: The transport assembly automatically unlocks when the library is turned on.
Show all sensors Dynamically displays the state of the sensors. To toggle door sensors, open and close the
doors. To toggle mailslot sensor, open the mailslot to access the first two tapes.
Test transport comm Exercises the infrared communications path between the library controller and the transport
micro-controller. Reports the health of this link. If the test passes, the IR communications
link is good.
Demonstration Selects a random full storage slot, moves the tape into the drive, and repeats the process
until all drives are full. The program locates a full slot, a full drive, an empty slot, and then
performs an exchange.
Attention: Run an inventory check from the host backup application after performing this
test.

test stops.
