Diagnostic and Maintenance Functions
Quantum LTO-5 HH SAS Model C User’s Guide
59
Once you begin this test, the diagnostic begins the loop sequence. Time
the first loop by pressing the Unload Button once to stop the diagnostic
after the completion of the first loop, then record the time it takes for
the test to complete. Compare the recorded time with the Approximate
Run Time above. If the test runs successfully but the execution time is
significantly longer than the Approximate Run Time, run
on page 56. If the Write Performance Test
fails, replace the media and exit maintenance mode.
Press the Unload Button to stop the diagnostic and exit maintenance
mode. Pressing the Unload Button once will abort the test at the end of
the current test loop. Pressing the Unload Button twice will abort the
test immediately. Wait for the drive to rewind the tape and unload the
cartridge.
Caution:
For this test, insert only a scratch (blank) data cartridge or a
cartridge that may be overwritten. During the test, the
drive overwrites the data on the cartridge.
Note:
If you inserted an invalid tape cartridge (e.g. Gen2 or WORM
media), error code J or 7 appears in the SCD. If you inserted a
write-protected cartridge, or the media has read-only
compatibility (e.g., Gen3 media), error code P appears in the
SCD. In either case, the tape drive unloads the cartridge and
exits Maintenance Mode after the cartridge is removed.
1
Place the drive in Maintenance Mode. For instructions, see
2
Press the Unload Button once per second until J appears in the SCD.
(If you cycle past the desired code, press the Unload Button once
per second until the code reappears.)
3
Press and hold the Unload Button for three or more seconds, then
release it to select the function. The SCD changes to a flashing C.
4
Insert a scratch (blank) data cartridge. The SCD changes to a
flashing J and the tape drive runs the tests.
• If no error is detected, the diagnostic will loop and begin again.
To stop the loop, press the Unload Button for one second and
release. When the diagnostic ends, 0 temporarily appears in the
SCD, and the tape drive exits Maintenance Mode.
