Interpreting the POST
Results
While the POST is running, a progress indicator showing the name of
the test displays on the front panel. If the autoloader is working
properly, the message
System Ready and the current configuration
display after the POST completes successfully.
If the autoloader is not working properly, error messages display on the
front panel (see “
Autoloader Logs” on page 103).
Diagnostic Tests from the Front Panel
Diagnostic tests allow you to calibrate parts of the autoloader, check the
condition of parts, or test the autoloader’s functionality. From the front
panel, you can perform all of the diagnostic tests.
Note: Use of the Diagnostic Commands from the On-board Remote
Management interface should not be issued while the
autoloader is being used by host applications. Only use the
Diagnostics Commands when the autoloader is known to be
idle and unavailable to host backup/restore applications.
The autoloader recognizes when the drive or autoloader is executing
host commands and will respond appropriately to prevent application
failures. A diagnostic command issued between host application
commands may not be recognized appropriately, resulting in a failed
application.
Because certain tests require you to manually insert a cartridge, you can
perform only some of the diagnostic tests using On-board Remote
Management (see “
On-board Remote Management Diagnostic Tests” on
page 82
).
Note: On-board Remote Management allows you to request all
diagnostic tests, but any tests that require a cartridge to be
inserted will time-out unless someone manually inserts the
cartridge at the appropriate time.
