Checking the setup
After installing the hardware and software, check the setup by
performing some exercises on the library, as described below. (While
these exercises are not required, it is a good idea to verify that your
software and hardware are properly communicating before you begin
operations.)
S Use the options on the Diagnostic Menu to exercise the hardware.
This determines whether the library hardware components are
operating properly. See page 117 for more information about library
diagnostics.
S Instruct the application software to load some cartridges into the tape
drive. This determines whether the software and library are
communicating properly.
S Back up several megabytes of data and perform a comparison check
on the backed up data. (If you have two tape drives, back up several
megabytes to both.) This determines whether the software and tape
drives are communicating properly.
* Parity checking for the library can also be enabled by the application software using
the SCSI command, MODE SELECT. The method used last to set parity checking
(LCD or SCSI command) has precedence. Parity checking for tape drives is set
separately.
