The wellness test
The wellness test exercises all Autoloader and tape drive hardware, except the external connections,
and is useful for verifying that a device is working correctly. The wellness test requires operator
interaction with the mailslot so cannot be initiated from the RMI.
For complete testing, enable the mailslot and ensure that each corner slot contains a tape cartridge.
The corner slot positions are M1, 3, 4, and 7 when the mailslot is enabled
IMPORTANT:
The Autoloader will remove any tape cartridge from the tape drive and go offline when running the
Wellness test. Verify that any applications using the device have completed before starting the wellness
test.
