Installation Verification Test (IVT)
The Installation Verification Test (IVT) is only available to libraries manufactured
on or after July 01, 2008. It is available only under Service login under the Tools
menu. This test exercises full library capability and functionality after a successful
library installation to confirm that an installation or FRU replacement was
successful. Manual steps to verify proper installation and physical configuration
are still required. Test results are presented on the Op Panel, as well as in the logs
which are presented on both the OP Panel and the Web User Interface.
The IVT tests for marginal or failing components/functions, and it is highly
recommended that these tests be used only by a product or customer engineer for
new installs and new FRU replacement.
The following prerequisites are required for this test:
1. The library should be ready and all hardware installed before the IVT is
initiated.
2. The complete library system must be taken offline to avoid interference
between IVT and host commands.
3. Drives must be empty before any drive test is initiated.
4. A scratch cartridge must be placed in the top slot of the I/O station, scanned
and assigned to ‘System' use. Drive test requires the media type to match the
drive type (e.g. LTO4 media for LTO4 drives). This applies to all drive types in
the library. Media must not be write-protected, encrypted, or WORM.
5. The type of test must be selected to perform one of the following tests:
v Robot: This procedure tests the following robot parameters: Controller Area
Network (CAN) bus; Home; Axis limit; Friction; 4 Corners; Calibration sensor;
Alignment; Scanner; Fingers; and Tape Handling.
v Frame: This procedure tests the following frame parameters: Fiducials; Cell
positions; Transitions; Configuration.
v I/O: This procedure tests the following I/O station parameters: Door lock
mechanism.
v Drive: This procedure tests the following parameters on each drive in the
library: CAN Bus test; Drive self test; Put; Load; Fast R/W; Loaded scan;
Unload; Unloaded scan; Dismount.
v Tour: This procedure tests the ability of the picker mechanism to load and
unload cartridges to and from the extreme top and bottom cells of all of the
modules in the library.
At the end of the test(s) selected, you can touch Details for all test results, or
Cancel to exit the Library Tests, or Next to view Detail Logs or email Detail Logs.
Library Demo
This test requires a scratch cartridge in the top slot of the I/O station, that has
been scanned and assigned to ‘System' use. The test will move this scratch
cartridge to random vacant storage cells throughout the library. The test will run
continuously, and can be stopped at any time by touching Stop on the display. To
exit the test, after the scratch cartridge has been returned to the I/O station, touch
Close.
