Diagnostic and Maintenance Functions
The drive can:
• Run diagnostics
• Test write and read functions
• Test a suspect tape cartridge
• Update firmware
• Perform other diagnostic and maintenance functions
The drive must be in maintenance mode to perform these functions.
Caution:
Maintenance functions cannot be performed concurrently
with read or write operations. While in maintenance mode,
the tape drive does not accept host interface commands
from the server.

that the drive can perform, gives the function code which appears on
the Single-character Display (SCD), and directs you to the instructions
for performing the function. It is recommended that you use a
customer-supplied scratch (blank) data cartridge for diagnostic testing.
