2.6 Running Diagnostics
After installing the TSZ07, run MicroVAX Diagnostic Monitor (MDM) on
all systems where the TSZ07 is connected to a KZQSA. Select the KZQSA
test and run it standalone before testing the whole system. Consult the
MicroVAX Diagnostic Monitor User’s Guide for proper MDM operation.
Make sure the magnetic tape that you use is blank or a scratch tape.
Failure to do so may cause a loss of data.
MDM 135 is the first version that will recognize the TSZ07 as a TSZ07.
The TSZ07 is not officially supported with the KZQSA MDM diagnostic
released in MDM 134, however it can be tested with it. When using
MDM 134, the KZQSA diagnostic will identify the TSZ07 Tape Drive
as a TLZnn. This message will be followed by "Unit #x", where x is
whatever unit ID number you have assigned by way of the NOVRAM
to the tape drive. The default value for x is 4. Should the drive fail,
it will be identified as a TLZnn. If the self-tests should fail when they
are invoked by MDM 134, the Receive Diagnostic Results command will
identify the tape drive as a TLZ04.
After MDM has run successfully, boot the system and run the appropriate
diagnostics as described below.
2.6.1 VMS Systems
Log into the SYSTEST account. Make sure the UETINIT.DAT file is set
for the device number the tape drive is set for. If it is not, edit the file and
change the number. Initialize the tape drive UETP. Run UETTAPE00.
The tape drive should run through one pass without errors.
On SCSI systems, UETP should be run before using the tape drive.
Consult the appropriate VMS Installation Manual for more detailed
instructions on running UETP.
2.6.2 ULTRIX Systems
To verify the operation of the tape drive on ULTRIX systems, use either
the "tapex" or the "mtx" diagnostics. For detailed descriptions on how to
run these diagnostics, refer to your ULTRIX manual.
