Verifying the tape drive installation
Procedure
1. To ensure proper operation, install a drive bay cover on any unused drive bay.
2. Power on the drive from the OCP or RMI, if necessary.

OCP.
If recognized, the new drive will show Ready, RDY, or Empty status.
4. Use Library & Tape Tools (L&TT) to verify that the host sees the tape drive.
You can download L&TT without charge from:
