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:
- 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.
- Robotics test - Ensures that the robotics system (including the picker
assembly and Y carriage assembly) is functioning correctly.
- i/e.1 station test - Ensures that the i/e.1 station
is functioning correctly.
- Barcode test - Ensures that the picker assembly can read barcodes correctly.
- Drive tests - Ensures that tape drives are functioning correctly. The
following tests are available:
- Fast Read/Write 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.
- Door test - Ensures that the access door is functioning correctly.
- Sensor test - Ensures that the sensors are functioning correctly.
Do one of the following:
- Select Drives if you want to perform a wrap test on one of the installed
tape drives.
- Select System > Library if you want to perform one of the following
tests:
- Robotics
- i/e.1 station
- Barcode
- Drive (Fast Read/Write, Media, Read/Write)
- Door
- Sensor
