The library conducts a series of prerequisite checks to be sure
everything is in order. Each prerequisite is listed as the library checks
it. If something is not set up correctly to run the IVT, the operator
panel displays a message letting you know how to fix it. Once you
fix the issue, again select Too ls > I VT. If all is in order, the test
begins.

library diagnostic tickets to help determine and resolve the problem.
Running the IVT Diagnostic Subtests Individually –
Robotics, Tape Drive, and Magazine Tests
If you do not need to run the full IVT, you can run the robotics, tape
drive, or magazine test separately to check an individual component.
You should do this when you remove, replace, or service a component
that does not require you to remove the library into or out of a rack or
desktop kit.
For a description of the diagnostic subtests, see Running the Installation
and Verification Test (IVT) on page 325.
