HP ESL E-series Tape Libraries - Manual (Page 68)

Test Description
Read Cabinet Type
Verifies that the cabinet type barcode can be read, then
displays the cabinet type.
• LTOHPF is an initial full LTO library.
• LTOHPC indicates an initial capacity-on-demand LTO
library.
• LTO indicates an LTO library purchased before
capacity-on-demand was introduced.
• SDLTHPF indicates an initial full SDLT library.
• SDLTHPC indicates an initial capacity-on-demand SDLT
library.
• SDLT indicates an SDLT library purchased before
capacity-on-demand was introduced.
Force Drive Unload
Clears the Prevent Media Removal bit. Unloads the tape
cartridge to the original slot or to the first empty slot.
CLM Self Test (primary
cabinets only)
Checks for unrestricted motion of the library robotics,
including between cabinets.
CLM to Home Position
(primary cabinets only)
Moves the CLM shuttle along the entire CLM arm, ending
with the shuttle extended into the primary cabinet.
Sequential Slot Test
(standalone or primary
cabinets only)
Performs an inventory of the library, then checks each slot
in the library, sequentially, to determine whether there is
free movement of the tapes in and out of the slots.
Sequential Drive Test
(standalone or primary
cabinets only)
Performs an inventory of the library, then checks drives
in the library, sequentially, to determine whether it is
communicating properly with the drives.
Random Test (standalone or
primary cabinets only)
Performs an inventory of the library, then randomly selects
and runs one of the tests.
Random Slot Test (standalone
or primary cabinets only)
Performs an inventory of the library, then checks a
sampling of slots in the library, in random order, to
determine whether there is free movement of the tapes in
and out of the slots.
Random Slot to Drive Test
(standalone or primary
cabinets only)
Performs an inventory of the library, then checks a
sampling of drives in the library, in random order, to
determine whether it is communicating properly with the
drives and whether there is free movement of the tapes
into and out of the slots.
Element to Element Test
(standalone or primary
cabinets only)
Moves media from any source location to any destination
location in the library, including different cabinets in a
CLM library.
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.

screen (see Figure 46 and Figure 48 ).
