Menu Operations

Menu Operations

The operations that can be performed using the operator panel and control keys are listed in Figure 22.

Certain operations can only be performed from a specific (prerequisite) mode or modes; therefore, before selecting an operation, make sure the tape library is in the proper mode.
For example, a move cartridge operation can only be performed with the tape library in the diagnostic off-line mode.
To move a cartridge, select the diagnostic off-line operational mode and then select the move cartridge menu operation.
If the tape library is not in the correct operational mode, it will show a message on the operator panel prompting for a change to the correct mode.

Figure 22. Menu Operations 

Menu Operation	Prerequisite Mode	Description
CHANGE MODE	None	Changes the tape library operational mode. Operational modes are: On-line Oft-line Diagnostic Off-line
MOVE CARTRIDGE	Diagnostic Off-line	Moves a cartridge from one location to another. Cartridges can be moved from storage cell to tape drive, tape drive to storage cell, storage cell to storage cell, or tape drive to tape drive.
DLT DIAGNOSTIC	Diagnostic Off-line	Issues a SEND DIAG command to the DLT7000 tape drive to perform basic tests. Service personnel only: Do not use a good data cartridge. Data will be overwritten and lost forever.
CONFIDENCE TEST	Diagnostic Off-line	Moves cartridges randomly throughout storage locations. This operation does not insert a tape cartridge into a tape drive. The confidence test can be stopped by pressing any control key.
REMOTE DIAGS	Diagnostic Off-line	Enables communication through the RS-232 interface.
DRVLDULD	Diagnostic Off-line	DLT7000 tape drive load and unload test. This test moves a tape cartridge from a cell to a tape drive. The tape drive loads the tape cartridge, reads the data table, and recalibrates the heads. As part of this test, the COMM TEST is run before performing drive loads and unloads. Service personnel only: Do not use a good data cartridge. Data can be overwritten and lost forever.
COMM TEST	Diagnostic Off-line	Communications test. This test quickly verifies SCSI communications between the tape library and host.
MAINTNANCE MENU	Diagnostic Off-line	Provides the following service-related information: Machine serial number SCSI configuration SE, single-ended D, differential Re-initialize the tape library Reset the statistics Reset robotic datums Load code tape
