•
Write 1GB of data for DAT72 and below and 2GB of data for DAT160 and above and then
measures the write margin.
•
Read 1GB of data for DAT72 and below and 2GB of data for DAT160 and above and then
measures the read margin.
1/8 Autoloader Assessment tests performed:
•
Review robotics error log entries.
•
Run appropriate drive assessment test on the drive.
•
Check for new robotics error log entries.
•
Perform 12 to 24 drive loads and unloads (depending on drive type)
•
Check for new robotics error log entries.
