configuration of tape locations. If the Library Read Write test is run after a tape is
removed from the library, the information about that tape is discarded from the log
file.

TIP:

To keep log information about a tape that has been discarded from the library,

copy or rename the log file before running the Library Read Write test.

The test determines which tapes to use based on the test option settings for Starting
slot, Number of test tapes, Drive type, Ignore barcode labels,
and whether or not the tapes will be written (see Allow overwrite). For example,
LTO-1 tapes will not be included in an LTO-3 drive test where tapes are written because
LTO-1 tape is not write-compatible with LTO-3 drives.

The test determines which drives to use based on the test option settings for Drive
type

and Drive range.

The other test options determine the testing sequence for the selected tapes and drives.
This testing sequence is always the same for each of the selected drives and tapes.

This test can be stopped before it completes. To abort the test from the GUI, click Abort
Test. To abort the test from the CSI, use the Ctrl-A key combination.

Slot and drive numbering is one-based (the first slot is 1), which is consistent with L&TT.
Some supported libraries use zero-based numbering on the library front panel. In this
case, the test numbering will be off by one from the front panel.
