Restore Factory Default Settings
Description Checks current configuration parameters of an MO drive and identifies
any that differ from factory defaults. If any differences are detected, the
test can reset to factory defaults.
NOTE: For instructions on how to perform this test, see Running the
tests (GUI) (page 40) or Running the tests (CSI) (page 73) .
When to run Device Analysis test results will recommend running this test if abnormal
(not default) settings are detected. Abnormal settings do not necessarily
mean there is a need to set them to default values. For example, the
user may want certain drive settings to be different from the default
values; in that case it is better not to run this test. However, you may
also want to try restoring defaults when you suspect configuration
parameters that could be adversely impacting operation may have been
changed.
Average duration < 1 minute
Other notes None
Available for 4X, 8X, and 14X MO drives
SDLT Tape Edge Damage (TED) test
Description This is a non-destructive test that determines if any SDLT cartridges with
tape edge damage are present in an ESL9000 or MSL library. If the test
passes, there are no tapes in the library with TED symptoms. If it fails,
evidence of tapes with TED has been found and a message is displayed
indicating that the user should run the
Read Media IDs test (page 146)
to locate the specific tapes with TED in the library. The message also
instructs the user to contact HP support to identify if any of the drives
have the potential to cause tape edge damage, and to have them
replaced if any are identified.
If the TED test fails, do the following:
1.
Click the Test Results tab to view the analysis results.
2. Record the IDs of any tapes identified for replacement. Note that
one or more IDs may be listed more than once because the same
tape may be identified as needing replacement in more than one
drive in the library.
3. Run the Read SDLT Media IDs test. This test provides a list of each
tape in the library along with its location and bar code information.
Match the IDs you recorded previously to the list to identify which
tapes to replace.
NOTE: For instructions on how to perform this test, see Running the
tests (GUI) (page 40) or Running the tests (CSI) (page 73) .
When to run Run this test whenever you suspect symptoms of tape edge damage, or
as directed by HP support personnel.
Average duration < 1 minute (see Read Media IDs test (page 146) for duration of that test)
