NOTE:
This test does not check for tape cartridge data consistency, nor does it
check the integrity of every block on tape.
Tape Diagnostic Test (#66)
This test activates the diagnostic tests built into the Maintenance/Tape Processor
(MTP) firmware on the TN773 Processor circuit pack. The test verifies the basic
read/write capability of the tape drive and tape cartridge. Also, the test performs
controller/MTP hardware diagnostics.
The test reads from the tape and performs write verification testing by writing
data into a maintenance block and reading it back. It also performs a tape drive
head step check by advancing the tape drive head through all even streams on
the tape (streams 0 through 18) to make sure the head is operational.
The test does not test every data block on the tape.
