VERIFYING THE HARDWARE INSTALLATION
CHECKING THE LIBRARY INSTALLATION
If the library did not power on as described, check the following:
 Is the power switch on?
 Is the power cord inserted correctly?
 Are the devices on the SCSI bus attached to the tape drive(s) installed in the
library all LVD (SCSI library)?
 Is the SCSI cable firmly connected to the tape drive(s) and host computer or
other devices on the bus?
 Are the Fibre Channel cables firmly connected to the tape drive and Fibre
Channel hub or switch (Fibre Channel library)?
 Is the host computer system turned on?
 Is there an error message displayed on the library’s LCD? (See Appendix E
for descriptions of LCD error messages.)
 For additional tips, see Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting.
PERFORMING SYSTEM EXERCISES
After installing the library, check the setup by performing the exercises
suggested below. While these exercises are not required, it is a good idea to
verify that your system and hardware are properly communicating before you
begin operation.
1.
1.1.
1. Import several cartridges into the library, and load and unload cartridges
into the tape drive(s). For instructions on:
 Importing cartridges, see page 118
 Loading and unloading cartridges from the tape drives, see page 127
2.
2.2.
2. Run a system demo. See page 186 for instructions. These exercises help
determine if the library’s hardware components are operating properly.
3.
3.3.
3. Download the diagnostic tools LibTool and LTOTool from
www.tandbergdata.com. Use these two tools to verify that the host
computer can communicate with the library and the tape drive(s).
Be sure to download the tools for your operating system. Refer to the
instructions in the “readme” files or on-line help provided with the tools.
