extreme library locations. It also scans the top and bottom-most slots
in the library. Time required to complete the Tour is five minutes per

Details on running the IVT subtests include:
• All IVT subtests are preselected by default. Clear the check box next
to a subtest name to exclude that test from this IVT run. Select
Apply
when you are ready to run the IVT.
• The Robot, Drives and Tour subtests each require that you to provide
a scratch data cartridge before the test can begin. If you select one of
these subtests, you will be prompted to place a scratch data cartridge
into the top I/E station slot. When you close the I/E station, the
Assign I/E
screen appears if the
Manual Cartridge Assignment
setting is
enabled on the operator panel
System Settings
screen (
Tools > System
Settings
). Assign the new scratch data cartridge to the
System
partition, and then select
Apply
.
• The Drives subtest only tests those tape drives that have the same
media type as the scratch data cartridge. For example, if the scratch
data cartridge is LTO-3, then all tape drives that are not LTO-3 will be
skipped in the Drives test. If the tape drives in the library have
different media types, you must run the Drives test multiple times
with a different scratch data cartridge for each tape drive media type.
• If a subtest is missing required resources (for example, scratch data
cartridges) the subtest will fail.
• The IVT starts by performing an inventory of the library. The
inventory is recorded in the IVT log along with the test results.
• Select
Details
on the
Library Test Progress
screen to see the IVT
results. If the IVT is still running, you will only see results for tests
that have completed.
