Dell PowerVault TL1000, User Manual

The Auto Cleaning function can be enabled only if the number of active slots is less than the
maximum available slots. The active slots are always enabled starting with the lowest numerical
cartridge position number in the magazine. This position is at the drive end of the cartridge
magazine. Place cleaning cartridges in inactive cartridge positions for use by the auto cleaning
function.
Do not store data or cleaning cartridges in the I/O Station (Column 5, Tier 1) if the I/O station is
enabled.
3. Put the magazine back into the library and wait for the library inventory to complete. Then, you can
proceed to the next step.
4. Press Cancel to return to the top-level menu.
Verifying library and drive operation
To verify the library is operating correctly:
1. From the top menu screen on the Operator Panel, press the Minus key to select Service, and press
Enter
.
2.
Press the Minus key to select Diagnostics, and press Enter.
3. Select Run Library Verify, and press Enter. Follow the on-screen instructions.
If there is a cartridge in a drive, the library moves the cartridge to its home position, or to the I/O
station if the home position is not known.
4. When prompted, insert a customer supplied scratch cartridge into the I/O station.
When the scratch cartridge is loaded, the bar code reader reads the bar code label on the cartridge
and stores it for later comparison. The cartridge is then moved to the tape drive, where the drive runs
its own write/read/verify test. When the test is done, the library tells the drive to eject the cartridge,
and then the cartridge is moved back to the I/O station. The bar code is read again and compared
with the value stored earlier.
5. When prompted, remove the cartridge from the I/O station.
The result of the test is reported on the Operator Panel.
If an error occurs, note the error code number and see Appendix A, “Error codes,” on page 115.
6. Press Cancel to return to the top-level menu.
