Check Tape Subsystem Status
Check Tape Subsystem Status
OSM, TSM, and other utilities do not test tape libraries.
1. Enter the SCF STATUS TAPE command for all tape volumes on the system:
-> STATUS TAPE $*
2. Verify that the STATUS TAPE display includes the tape subsystem and that the
state is STARTED, the substate is UP, and the device status is READY. The
following example shows the status for tape drive $T0151:
If the tape subsystem does not appear in the display, or if the state, substate, or
device status is not correct, ensure that:
•
The tape subsystem is plugged in.
•
The cables are attached correctly.
•
All appropriate start buttons have been pushed.
•
All LEDs on the subsystem show normal status. See the subsystem manual.
•
The tape drive is configured properly in the system database.
If these troubleshooting techniques do not work, contact your service provider.
Test the Tape Subsystems
Test tape subsystems with TSM, BACKUP and RESTORE, or SCF. OSM or TSM and
other utilities do not test tape libraries.
•
The OSM Service Connection and TSM Service Application support these tests for
tape subsystems:
For help using the OSM or TSM windows and dialog boxes, see online help for the
OSM Service Connection or TSM Service Application. For information about
concepts, commands, dialog boxes, and how to perform tape tasks, see the TSM
Online User Guide or the OSM User’s Guide.

CRU Responsive Test Verifies that a tape drive is installed and responding.
Test Extended The specific test performed depends on type of tape drive. For
more information, see the OSM User’s Guide or the TSM
Service Application online help. The tape drive must be in the
down state.
Test Verify Runs the power-on self-test for the tape drive and tests its
internal circuitry. The tape drive must be in the down state.
