PowerVault ML6000 Maintenance Guide 7
You can use the Service menu to access various tests for the library’s tape drives or for the entire library,
to ensure that the library is functioning as expected.
The following tests are available:
• Drives > Drive Tests
• Wrap Test —Performs a test to ensure that the tape drive circuitry is working by testing the
external tape drive interface circuitry.
• Reset —Power cycles the tape drive while the tape drive remains in the drive sled in the library.
• Drives > Media Tests
• Fast R/W Test —Reads and writes two wraps worth of data in each of the tape’s four data
sections. For this test, insert a scratch data cartridge in the top I/E station slot. During the test,
the drive overwrites the data on the cartridge.
