5. Verify that the tape drive installation was successful.
HP StorageWorks Library & Tape Tools (L&TT) is the recommended diagnostic and support tool for
your HP tape drive. Use it to verify installation and confirm that your tape drive is functioning
correctly before you use it for backup. It is available free at http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools.
NOTE:
L&TT tests tape drive operation only; use the Onboard Administrator to diagnose the
tape blade.
6. For all operating systems ensure that you have downloaded any upgrades necessary for your backup
application. Check for software compatibility and install any recommended upgrades.
7.
Perform a backup and restore test to check that the drive can write data to tape. Use a blank
cartridge.
Windows Backup or Unix native backup applications can be used to check basic tape drive
operation, but they will not support all the advanced features of your tape drive. We recommend
that you upgrade your software application before running this test.
