T149 - EKM Path Test Delay
Description GUI Description: The library is unable to initiate a background EKM Path 
Test to an EKM server.
Explanation: The library attempted to perform an EKM Path Diagnostics
Test to an EKM server, but a tape drive has not been available with the proper 
prerequisites, such as being ready and unloaded. This ticket conveys the fact 
that the test could not be performed within the selected test time period, which 
is determined by the configured test time interval multiplied by the configured 
test warning threshold.
Detection Scenarios The library attempted to perform an EKM Path Diagnostics but did not 
succeed in initiating the test within the configured test warning threshold, due 
to a tape drive not being available to allow the test to run.
Root Causes • LTO tape drive(s) are still loaded, preventing the library from initiating an 
EKM Path Diagnostic Test via a tape drive.
• IBM LTO tape drive(s) are not ready, preventing the library from initiating an 
EKM Path Diagnostics Test via a tape drive.
