• 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
three minutes per I/E station.

•

Drives

performs functional tests on the library drives. Time required

to complete the Drives test is 15 minutes per drive.

•

Tour

moves a scratch data cartridge through all storage slots in the

extreme library locations. It also scans the top and bottom-most slots
in the library. Time required to complete the Tour is five minutes per

module.

Details on running the IVT subtests include:

• 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.

• The Robot, Drives and Tour subtests each require that you to provide

a scratch data cartridge before the test can begin. If you select

one of

these subtests, you will be prompted to

place a scratch data cartridge

into the top I/E station slot. 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

• The Drives subtest only tests those tape drives that have the same

media type as the scratch data cartridge. For example, if the scratch

data cartridge is LTO-3, then all tape drives that are not LTO-3 will be
skipped in the Drives test. If the tape drives in the library have

different media types, you must run the Drives test multiple times
with a different scratch data cartridge for each tape drive media type.

• If a subtest is missing required resources (for example, scratch data

cartridges) the subtest will fail.

• The IVT starts by performing an inventory of the library. The

inventory is recorded in the IVT log along with the test results.

• Select

Details

on the

Library Test Progress

screen to see the IVT

results. If the IVT is still running, you will only see results for tests

that have completed.

• Select

Stop

on the

Library Test Progress

screen to cancel the current

IVT run between subtests. The last issued commands will complete
before library control is returned.
