the saved_scan.txt file in the L&TT root directory. Examine
this file to determine the proper format. This parameter is
required.
testname Enter the test name to perform. The test names for the
supported tests are:
• Connectivity Test
• Device Analysis
• Device Self Test
• LTO Drive Assessment test
• SDLT Drive Assessment Test
• DDS Drive Assessment Test
• LTO Media Assessment test
• DDS Media Assessment test
For the proper syntax, see the Command line syntax entry for
the desired command in Diagnostic tests (page 99). This
parameter is required.
iohistory Optional. Specify enabled or disabled. When enabled,
L&TT generates a detailed event log that captures all L&TT
diagnostic interaction, all SCSI commands sent and received
by the program, and any software interactions or issues. If an
invalid value is provided, L&TT retains the existing setting.
testopt Optional. A test may have one or more options, or no options.
The Allow Overwrite test option must be set to True for
any test that writes data to a tape and is executed through the
command line.
For each option that you want to specify, enter the option
name/value pair in the following format:
testopt=<option1_name:option1 value>
testopt=<option2_name:option2 value> etc...
For more information about available options, valid values,
and command line syntax, see the desired command in
Diagnostic tests (page 99).
instname Specify a name for this instance of L&TT. This parameter is
optional for the first instance of L&TT and required for all other
instances of L&TT. If this parameter is supplied, the log files
from this instance will be created in a logs_<instance
name> folder in the logs folder of the L&TT installation directory
or directory specified by dirpath.
dirpath Specify the absolute path for the temporary directory used by
L&TT for its runtime files. This parameter is optional when L&TT
is run from the system installation directory and required when
L&TT is run from removable media, such as a USB flash drive
or CD.
When running L&TT from the system installation directory, if
dirpath is specified and instname is not specified, the
L&TT runtime files will be created in the dirpath directory.
Otherwise, if dirpath is specified, the L&TT runtime files will
be created in <dirpath>/logs_<instance name>.
