Software Manual

Initialize Element Status test
Description This test script executes an initialize element status command
on the library, which instructs the library to perform an inventory of all
its elements.
NOTE: For instructions on how to perform this test, see Running the
tests (GUI) (page 40) or Running the tests (CSI) (page 73).
When to run When cartridges have been manually removed, use this test script to
initialize the library.
Average duration Depending on the library, this test may take over 30 minutes.
Other notes Test will not overwrite any data on the media.
Available for All libraries supported by L&TT.
Installation Check test
Description The Installation Check is not executed in the same way as other L&TT tests.
Rather, it is run automatically when L&TT starts in Installcheck mode.
Installcheck mode is a feature of the Windows version of L&TT. For information
on starting L&TT in Installcheck mode, see Using the Installation Check
feature (page 172).
When run in Installcheck mode, L&TT checks the installation of selected
devices. L&TT performs several tests on each selected device to determine if
the device is configured optimally. In addition, L&TT performs connectivity
and configuration tests on all supported devices that are configured on the
system. These tests cannot be overridden. All of the tests performed during
the installation check can also be run manually with L&TT. L&TT displays the
results of each test and any recommendations.
NOTE: For instructions on how to perform this test, see Running the tests
(GUI) (page 40) or Running the tests (CSI) (page 73).
When to run Run L&TT in Installcheck mode when you want to verify the correct
configuration of supported devices.
Other notes When L&TT is run in Installcheck mode, the Installation Check wizard opens.
After the selected tests are complete and the results are displayed, the wizard
closes, which also closes L&TT. If you want to restart L&TT, launch it as you
normally would (without the mode=installcheck argument if you are
starting it from the command line).
Available for The installation check feature is currently supported on the following devices:
• HP Ultrium drive
• HP SDLT 320 drive
• HP VS80 drive
• DDS tape drives
