(5, for example) or a range (2-5, for example) to test specific drive elements (numbering starts
at 1).
•
Test Import/Export range (all, x-y, or none)— Specify the range of import/export
(mail slot) elements to be tested. Specify all to test all import/export elements. Specify none
to skip all import/export elements. Specify a single number (5, for example) or a range (2-5,
for example) to test specific import/export elements (numbering starts at 1).
•
Test slot range (all, x-y, or none)— Specify the range of slot (storage) elements to be
tested. Specify all to test all storage elements. Specify none to skip all storage elements. Specify
a single number (5, for example) or a range (2-5, for example) to test specific storage elements
(numbering starts at 1).
•
Ignore barcode labels and media types when selecting tapes — To ensure
that attempted moves are made only to elements that are compatible with the selected media,
the test attempts to use bar code label and/or Read Element Status information from the library
to determine media types by default. If bar code labels are missing or incorrect, it may be
necessary for this option to be set to True to allow the test to run. This option should only be
set to True if all of the media in the selected range is compatible with all of the elements in
the selected range. If this option is set to True and more than one drive type is detected in the
selected range, the test will exit without moving media. The range options can be used to
select ranges of elements that are known to be compatible.
Using the original version
The Library Exerciser test takes a test cartridge from a mail slot and performs random slot-to-slot
moves. The test then moves the test cartridge into every available drive and performs a short drive
test. This test is intended to exercise the robotics and robot drive hardware.
NOTE: 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.
The following options are available for this test:
•
Test Time Limit — Specify the time limit in minutes. Enter 0 for no time limit. The default
setting is 0.
•
Move Command Timeout — Specify the maximum time allotted, in seconds, for each move
command before failure. The default is 600 seconds.
•
Active Slot Range — Specify a range of slots to be tested. Enter a range of slot numbers
separated with a dash (for example: 2-5), or enter all to specify all slots. The default is all.
•
Active Drive Range — Specify a range of drives to be tested. Enter a range of drives
separated with a dash (for example: 2-5), or enter all to specify all drives. The default is all.
•
Drive Type Option — Specify the type of drives to be tested (in libraries that have mixed
drive types). Enter the type of drive (for example: LTO or DLT), or enter all to test all drive
types. The default is all.
•
Check Inventory Mode — Specify whether to perform an active inventory check at
beginning of the test. The active inventory check can take a long time to perform. The default
is on.
