The 

Robot 

test evaluates the basic functionality of the library robotics assembly, including the 

picker assembly and the Y-carriage assembly, the barcode scanner, and the calibration sensors. 

Time required to complete the Robot test is approximately 5 minutes.

•

The 

Frame 

test assesses the control and expansion module configuration and alignment.

Time required to complete the Frame test is approximately 3 minutes per module.

•

The 

I/E Station

 test assesses the configuration and functionality of each I/E station.

Time required to compete the I/E Station test is approximately 3 minutes per I/E station.

•

The 

Drives 

test performs functional tests on the library tape drives.

Time required to complete the Drives test is approximately 15 minutes per drive.

•

The 

Tour 

moves a scratch data cartridge through all storage slots in the extreme library locations. 

It also scans the topmost and bottommost slots in the library and performs get/put operations, using 
non-scratch data cartridges.

Time required to complete the Tour is approximately 5 minutes per module.

Running the IVT

1

Log on to the library, using the operator panel, as an administrator or service user.

2

Ensure that no applications are accessing the library.

If a 

Progress Screen

 is open, wait until it closes before attempting to run the IVT.

3

Select 

Tools > Library Tests

.

4

Select 

Installation & Verification Tests

, and then select 

Next

.

5

All IVT subtests are preselected by default. Clear the check box next to a subtest name to exclude that 
test from this IVT run. Select 

Apply

 when you are ready to run the IVT.

6

The Robot, Drives and Tour subtests each require that you to provide a scratch data cartridge before 
the test can begin. When you are prompted to do so, place a scratch data cartridge into the top I/E 
station slot, and then select 

Apply

. You must import the scratch data cartridge into the system partition.

A subtest will fail if a required resource is missing. A required resource could be a scratch data cartridge 
or an empty drive with available matching media type.

The IVT starts by performing an inventory of the library. The inventory is recorded in the IVT log, along 
with the test results.

To see the IVT results, select 

Details

 on the 

Library Test Progress

 screen. If the IVT is still running, 

you will only see results for tests that have completed.

To cancel the current IVT run between subtests, select 

Stop

 on the 

Library Test Progress

 screen, The 

last issued commands will complete before library control is returned.

7

Once the selected tests are complete, select 

Next

.

Select 

Close

 to return to the 

Tools

 menu.

Note

You must configure the library e-mail account using the Web client if you intend 
to e-mail the IVT log after running the IVT. To configure the e-mail account, 
select 

Setup > Notifications > E-mail Configuration
