Move Cartridge Test

Move Cartridge Test

•  Library Power On Self Test and Initialization
•  Confidence Test
•  Tape Drive Load and Unload Test (DRVLDULD)
•  SCSI Communications Test (COMM TEST)

This test can be run using any cartridge, or it can be directed to use a particular cartridge, such as the CE cartridge.
A cell must be available to manually insert the CE cartridge into, and another cell or DLT7000 tape drive must be available to move it to using the Move Cartridge Test.
This test will also move a cartridge from a tape drive where the cartridge is unloaded with the operate handle light lit, or from a loaded tape drive if the cartridge was placed in the tape drive by the move cartridge test.
In this situation, the library will first initiate an UNLOAD command to the particular tape drive in order to put the drive in the proper state to operate the tape drive handle.
The move cartridge test will NOT issue an UNLOAD command to a tape drive that was loaded from a host command or if it was manually loaded.
In this case you must first press the Unload button on the tape drive bezel if you want the move cartridge test to be able to move the cartridge to a cell or another tape drive.
