IMPORTANT:
The Library will remove any tape cartridges from the tape drives and go offline when running the
wellness test. Verify that any applications using the Library have completed before starting the wellness
test.
You can have the Library run up to 10 cycles of the wellness test. The wellness test exercises all enabled
tape drives in the extended library.
The wellness test requires operator interaction and can only be run from the OCP. During the wellness
test:
1.
The operator starts the wellness test from the master Library OCP. The administrator password is
required.
2.
The master Library performs a self test, verifies that it can communicate with the tape drives and
the Extender, and then the lower Library performs a self test.
3.
The Library returns any tape cartridges from the tape drives to their home slots. If the home slot
for a cartridge is not known, the Library will move the cartridge to the mailslot and prompt the
operator to remove it.
4.
The Library prompts the operator to enter the number of cycles to run the test.
5.
The Library opens the lowest-numbered mailslot in the extended library, which will generally be
in the lower Library, and prompts the operator to insert a scratch cartridge.
NOTE:
In the MSL8096, the 12-slot mailslot does not pop out; the operator must open it.
6.
The operator inserts a scratch cartridge into the lowest-numbered mailslot. If no mailslots are
enabled or the operator closes the mailslot without inserting a cartridge into the lowest-numbered
mailslot, the Library will perform a shortened version of the wellness test, skipping
.
