DLT Tape Library Diagnostic Screen

By expanding the DLT Tape Library section, firmware versions, SCSI
Identification information, and Library Element Status are displayed. In
addition to Test Unit Ready commands, a Force Inventory and Move Media
Command are available. These diagnostic routines will verify existence of
tapes and allow the testing of the robotic controller and mechanical
mechanisms within the library. Firmware upgrades are available for the
robotic controller, and should be used with extreme caution.
