Test Result The last test result for the media. Test results include the
following:
• Good — The tape is good.
• Bad — The tape is bad.
• Suspect — The tape is possibly unreliable or defective.
• Untested — The tape could not be fully scanned, for various
reasons, including: incompatible or unknown media type;
tape could not be loaded; tape is encrypted but the data
encryption key could not be obtained; drive not
communicating with I/O blade, test was stopped.
Note: Untested media do not initiate RAS tickets or EDLM
media action policies (such as copying data from a bad
or suspect tape).
• Not Completed — The test has not completed yet.
Supported Indicates whether the media is a supported media type (Yes/No)
(meaning, it can be read by at least one of the drives in the
EDLM library managed partition). For example, an LTO-1 tape
cannot be read by an LTO-4 drive. Unsupported media cannot
be selected for testing.
