Running Library Demo
8
Administrative users can run Library Demo, a simple way to test robotics
functionality following a FRU or CRU replacement. It shows the library’s
ability to correctly move a scratch data cartridge from an I/E station to
randomly selected open storage slots until the demonstration is stopped.
Details on running Library Demo include:
• Media in the storage magazines are not affected by the
demonstration. The scratch data cartridge is returned to the I/E
station following each cycle of 20 moves or when the demonstration
is stopped.
• Before running Library Demo, ensure that no host applications are
accessing the library.
• After you select
Library Demo
on the
Tools > Library Tests
screen, you
will be prompted to
place a scratch data cartridge into the top I/E
station slot. The library robot will use this cartridge to perform its
moves during the demonstration.
• When you close the I/E station, the
Assign IE
screen appears if the
Manual Cartridge Assignment
setting is enabled on the operator panel
System Settings
screen (
Tools > System Settings
). Assign the new
scratch data cartridge to the
System
partition, and then select
Apply
.
• Before the demonstration starts, the library may perform an
inventory. If the screen shows the flashing “Library Not Ready”
message, which indicates that an inventory is occurring, wait until
the library is ready before you select
Apply
to begin Library Demo.
• The operator panel will show that the demonstration is in progress.
There is an intentional delay of two seconds between move media
commands to prevent unnecessary wear on the robotics
• To stop the demonstration, select
Stop
on the
Library Demo
screen.
The last issued commands will complete before the demonstration is
stopped and library control is returned. The operator panel will
display a “Demo Being Stopped” message.
Library Demo cannot be performed from the web client. The path to open
the appropriate screen is as follows:
• From the operator panel, select
Tools > Library Tests > Library Demo
