◦
the test tape will be written during the assessment test. The
choices are Default and Entire tape.
NOTE: If Run LTO drive assessment test is TRUE and
Drive type is not LTO, the test will exit.
•
Continue on drive errors (default: TRUE) — Specifies
whether the test should continue when an unexpected drive error
occurs. This check does not include some expected drive errors,
such as when a drive reaches EOD before reading the specified
amount of data.
NOTE: Robotics errors will always cause the test to fail
immediately.
•
Test all drive/tape combinations (default: FALSE) —
Determines which tape/drive combinations to test. For example,
with four selected drives and four selected tapes, if Test all
drive/tape combinations
is FALSE, four tape/drive
combinations will be tested, but if Test all drive/tape
combinations
is TRUE, 16 tape/drive combinations will be tested.
If Number of test tapes is set to 1, the test will use all
tape/drive combinations, regardless of how the Test all
drive/tape combinations
test option is set so that each of
the selected tape drives will be tested.
•
Number of iterations (default: 1) — Specifies the number of
times the test sequence will be repeated for each tape/drive
combination.
•
Ignore barcode labels (default: FALSE) — Specifies whether
the test should use barcode labels to determine which tapes are
compatible with a tape drive.
•
Skip previously inventoried tapes (default FALSE) —
Specifies whether previously inventoried tapes will be skipped when
the test selects the tapes to use for the test run. The information about
previously inventoried tapes is kept in the log file.
When to run Run this test to verify that the tapes and drives are 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.
This test can be stopped before it completes. To stop the test, click Abort
Test.
The test keeps a log file that lists of all tapes in the library that have bar
code labels.
The test will not run with a tape that has been partitioned.
The Library Read Write test has several requirements, some of which
can be overridden with test options:
•
Library robotics are working. The test assumes that the library
robotics are working well enough to move tapes, read barcode
