Path:
Normal Read/
Write
The drive reads and writes 96 wraps worth of data (all the tracks) in each of
the four data sections. No more than 1.5% of the tape is used. Ten data
patterns are used in this test. This test takes approximately 22 minutes.
Media Read/Write Since media damage usually comes from the edges of tape to the center of
tape, the media test performs a read/write test by writing two wraps on each
of the two outside data bands, closest to the edge of tape, on both edges of
the tape, for the entire length of tape. This test takes approximately 20
minutes.
Head Read/Write In this test the drive performs a resistance check on the recording head, then
it does a read/ write test where it writes two wraps in each of the two center
data bands of tape to verify the head is performing well. This test takes
approximately 20 minutes.
Wrap This test is used to ensure that the drive is communicating correctly with the
host and the library.
Create FUP The drive loads firmware onto a data cartridge to create a firmware upgrade
(FUP) tape.
Clear FUP The drive erases the firmware from the firmware upgrade (FUP) cartridge so
it can be used as a data cartridge.
Drive Logs The library causes the drive to copy drive error log information to the operator
panel screen.
Presv Dump The library causes the drive to store the current drive dump information in the
drive’s NVRAM for extraction by a service technician.
