Options
LTO Assessment test options:
For the LTO test, the following four options are available:
•
Allow Overwrite
(defaults to FALSE) — set to TRUE to avoid
the interactive warning about erasing data on the test tape
•
Test Coverage
(defaults to DEFAULT, which is two wraps) — A
wrap is one full length of the tape in one direction. ‘2X' test
coverage is twice the default (4 wraps) and ‘4X' test coverage is
four times the default (8 wraps). Typical test times for
‘Default'/2X/4X test coverage options are 15/30/60 minutes.
SDLT Assessment test options:
•
Media Test
(defaults to FALSE) — writes and reads, looking for
tape errors, including servo errors
•
Allow Overwrite
(defaults to FALSE) — set to TRUE to avoid
the pop-up warning about erasing data on the test tape
DDS Assessment test options:
NOTE:
L&TT versions 4.8 and above have two versions of the DDS
Assessment test. L&TT will offer the test applicable to your tape drive.
