Read/Write test
CAUTION:
This test is destructive and will overwrite data on the media that is present in your
product.
Description
This test performs a self-test on the drive device, then a write-read media
test to verify the ability to read and write data to and from the removable
media in your storage device. This test also checks error rates and fails
if allowable limits are exceeded. Test options allow the user to select
the amount of data or length of test time, the amount of data transferred
per command, and the data pattern.
The Write/Read test includes the same parameters as the existing Device
Performance test but it should not be used for performance measurements
as it does not use the tape driver and runs more slowly. Please use the
Device Performance test for accurate performance measurements.
NOTE:
For instructions on how to perform this test, see
or
Running the tests (CSI) (page 73)
