Performing the slot to slot test
The slot to slot test randomly exchanges cartridges between slots to verify that the library is operating
correctly. At the end of the test the cartridges are NOT returned to their original slots. If a tape is
moved to an incompatibly drive, the drive will reject the tape, as designed.
CAUTION: The test can move cartridges between partitions.
For service and diagnostics, use the robotic test.
