cartridges than drives in the library, an error message "Slot Empty" occurs, and the test does not complete
successfully. The media type must be compatible with the drive type. Otherwise, an error message
"Incompatible Media" occurs and the test fails.
This page provides the system administrator with general tests to verify the usability and reliability of
the library. The "System Test" uses resident data cartridges to test the load and unload capability of the
drives, and ensure that the library mechanics are working satisfactorily. No data is written to the
cartridges and the cartridges are returned to their normal slot location. The "Slot To Slot" test moves each
resident data cartridge from one slot to another, for each test cycle requested. When the "Slot To Slot" test
is completed, you must Inventory your library before it is placed back online, since this test scrambles the
cartridge slot locations.
The user selects the number of test cycles before the test from EXECUTE is started. To cancel the test
before it completes the cycles, select STOP.
Note: The Web User Interface System Status screen indicates progress and completion of the activity.
The first field can be modified to set the number of cycles. The second field displays the completed
cycles.
Service Library: Key Path Diagnostics
Important: Ensure that library firmware and drive firmware are up to date before the Key Path
Diagnostic test is run. Library firmware level must be greater than 6.xx. See “Verifying/updating
firmware” on page 60.
The key path diagnostics test completes diagnostic procedures on the encryption key path. Only drives
that are set up for library managed encryption are tested. Only encryption capable drives in logical
libraries that are configured for Library Managed Encryption are tested. To configure the library for
encryption, see “Configure Library: Encryption” on page 125.
The test consists of four parts:
v Drive Test: The library completes a drive communication test to confirm communication with the
drive.
v Ethernet Test: For each EKM IP address, the library completes a ping test and records the results.
v EKM Path Test: For each EKM IP address that passed the ping test, the library completes an EKM
communication test.
v EKM Config Test: This test confirms that a drive is correctly configured in the EKM to service key
requests.
To run the Key Path Diagnostic test, complete this procedure.
1. Log on to the Web User Interface. See “Login” on page 22.
2. Quiesce all drives, then unload all drives.
3. Click Service Library, then Key Path Diagnostics.
