Device Self-Test
Description This test executes the internal self-test of the device and reports any
failures. This test is useful in confirming that the device itself is
operating properly. Not all devices support an internal self-test.
Command line syntax Test name: Device Self Test
Options:
•
Looping Options —Specify Count based loop or Time
based loop(min) . In either case, the actual value is entered
separately using the Looping value parameter.
For example, to set a time-based loop of 10 minutes:
testopt=”Looping Options:Time based loop(min)”
testopt=”Looping value:10”
•
Looping value—Specify an integer greater than zero.
For example, to set a count-based loop to iterate five times:
testopt=”Looping Options:Count based loop”
testopt=”Looping value:5”
NOTE: If no options are specified, L&TT runs the test with looping
options set to Count based loop with a looping value of 1.
When to run Run this test as a quick check of the integrity of the device.
Average duration < 1 minute
Other notes Test will not overwrite any data on media present in the drive.
Available for LTO autoloaders and drives, ESL, MSL, C7200, C7145, C5177,
C1194F, C5151, C5173, C6280, SSL 1016 and STK libraries,
STK 9840 drives
Library Exerciser test
CAUTION: When run on the MSL, ESL, and EML series libraries, this test does NOT overwrite
data. However, on other libraries, this test may overwrite data depending on how the test options
are configured.
Description This is a general-purpose test of the library. The test exercises the library
robotics by moving media to and from all of the selected elements in
the library. There are two versions of this test, depending on the library
model. For more information, see
“Using the Library Exerciser
Test” (page 34) .
When to run Run this test to verify that the library is functioning properly.
Average duration Highly dependent on the library being tested and the options selected.
Other notes Depending on the library model and test options selected, this test may
overwrite data. The test will not overwrite data on MSL, ESL, and EML
series libraries. For more information, see
“Using the Library Exerciser
Test” (page 34) .
This test can be stopped before it completes. To abort the test, click
Abort Test.
Available for Not all libraries are supported by the Library Exerciser test. If the test is
not displayed in the list of tests, then the selected device is not supported.
