The Service menu contains all the service activities you can perform using
the operator panel.
Note: servicemenu.1
Using the Service menu, you can perform the following tape drive and library
diagnostics:
Drives > Drive Tests
- Wrap test - Ensures that the tape drive circuitry is working by testing
the external drive interface circuitry. Wraps are the round-trip path taken
by data from the beginning of the cartridge to the end of the cartridge
and back to the beginning. Note: There are two different types of wrap tools,
one for SCSI drives and one for Fibre Channel Drives. You must install the
appropriate wrap tool for the tape drive type when executing this test.
Performing this test without a wrap tool installed will cause the test to
fail.
- Reset - Power cycles the tape drive while the tape drive remains in the drive sled in the library.
Drives > Media Tests
- Fast R/W test - Reads and writes two wraps worth of data in
each of the cartridge's four data sections.
- Media test - Reads and writes two wraps worth of data on each of the
two outside data bands on both edges of the cartridge for the entire
length of the cartridge.
- Read/Write Test - Reads and writes 96 wraps worth of data in each
of the cartridges four data sections.
- Self Test - Performs the drive’s Power On Self Test (POST) to make sure that drive hardware is working properly.
System > Library Tests
- Robotics - Ensures that the robotics system (including the picker
assembly and Y carriage assembly) is functioning correctly.
- i/e.1
- Ensures that the
i/e.1 station
is functioning correctly.
- Barcode - Ensures that the picker assembly can read barcodes correctly.
- Door - Ensures that the access door is functioning correctly.
- Sensor - Ensures that the sensors are functioning correctly.
