Running Diagnostic Tests
When power is restored, the robot automatically places this cartridge in the drop-
off cell as part of the robotic initialization sequence.
Any type of cleaning or diagnostic cartridge can be placed in the other 11 cells.
Alternately, these 11 cells can be left empty.
To install diagnostic and cleaning cartridges:
1. Open both the right and left front doors of the tape library.
2. Check that the top cell is empty.
3. Place cleaning and diagnostic cartridges in any of the other cells in the
reserved area (Refer to Figure 5-4 on page 5-18).
Running Diagnostic Tests
To test the tape library operation before placing it online, run diagnostic tests. The two
suggested diagnostic tests are the Get-Put and the Mount-Dismount tests.
Running the Get-Put Loop Diagnostic Test
The Get-Put loop test validates cell-to-cell move capabilities using a diagnostic
cartridge. The robot:
•
Retrieves (gets) the diagnostic cartridge from its reserved cell
•
Moves the hand and cartridge laterally and vertically
•
Places (puts) the cartridge back into the reserved cell
To run the Get-Put diagnostic test:
1. Check that the tape library is offline.
2. Check that the main access door is closed and the tape library menu is displayed.
3. Check that there is a diagnostic cartridge in the reserved area.
4. From the Status screen, press the MENU button on the operator panel.
5. Use the down arrow button to select DIAGNOSTICS.
6. Press SELECT. The DIAGNOSTICS screen appears.
7. Use the down arrow button to select GET-PUT LOOP.
Caution. Do not place data cartridges in these cells. The reserved cells are limited to cleaning
and diagnostic cartridges only.
Ask the system administrator if the Auto Clean option is desired. If host software supports this
option, the cleaning tape cartridge can be placed in the lower 11 cells. When the robot detects
cleaning cartridges, the tape library automatically configures the auto clean.
If auto clean is not desired, do not place cleaning tape cartridges in these cells.
