HP StoreEver TapeAssure Software - Manual (Page 119)

Options
Allow overwrite (default: FALSE) — Set to TRUE to enable test
options which write to the tape. Specifically, if MB to write is
•
greater than 0 or Run LTO drive assessment test is TRUE,
the test will only run if Allow overwrite is also true.
•
Starting slot (defaults to 1) — Specifies the number of the slot
where the test will start checking for compatible tapes.
NOTE: Slot and drive numbering is one-based (the first slot is 1),
which is consistent with L&TT. Some supported libraries use
zero-based numbering on the library front panel. In this case, the
test numbering will be off by one from the front panel.
•
Number of test tapes (default: 1) — Specifies the maximum
number of test tapes to be written during the test. If tapes will be
written (see Allow overwrite), the number of test tapes is limited
to the maximum of the number of drives selected with Drive type
and Drive range, or 10 tapes, whichever number is larger. For
example, if six drives are selected in a 32-drive library and the test
is configured to write tapes, then the test will limit the number of
test tapes to 10. If there are 16 drives in the chosen library, the test
will limit the number of test tapes to 16.
If all is selected, the test tapes will be selected from the Starting
slot
to the end of the library slot range. If tapes will not be written,
the maximum does not apply.
•
Drive range (default: all) — Specifies the range of tape drives
to be considered for the test. Drive numbering starts at one. This
range of drives is checked against the specified Drive type to
determine which drives will be used. For example, 1–3 selects
drives 1, 2 and 3, 2 selects drive 2, and all selects all drives in
the library.
•
Drive type (default: same as drive 1) — Specifies the types of
drives to include in the test. The test will exit if the library does not
a drive of the selected type.
•
MB to write (default: 0) — Specifies the amount of data to write
to each tape using a random data pattern, 64K block size, and
data compression enabled. If all is specified, the tape will be fully
written to EOM (end of media) and the locations for early warning
EOM and EOM will be published in the test results. These locations
are published as both a block number and a capacity point.
•
Run LTO drive assessment test (default FALSE) — Set to
TRUE to run the assessment test. The Enable passive test,
Ignore cleaning request
, and Test coverage options
configure the LTO drive assessment portion of the Library Read
Write test.
◦
Enable passive test (default: TRUE) — Specifies whether
device analysis will be run from within the drive assessment
test.
◦
Ignore cleaning request (default: FALSE) — Specifies
whether cleaning requests will be checked and used as part
of the test criteria.
Test coverage
(default: Default) — Specifies how much of
