Appendix D
RUNNING THE BASIC HEALTH CHECK (BHC) TEST VIA
THE LIBRARY PORT
This appendix explains how to run the DLT 8000 tape system’s BHC test on a tape drive
that is configured as a component within a library.
NOTE
The BHC feature is provided for use only by a trained service provider.
Issue the RUN BHC TEST command (15h) to the tape drive configured within the
library.
For the results of the BHC test, obtain Tape Data Packet 3 by issuing a SEND TAPE
DATA 3 command (13h). The results of the BHC test are reported in Byte 1 of Tape
Data Packet 3.
The BHC test status results possible are:
Code Indicates… Meaning…
00h BHC Test Not Run BHC test has not been invoked via the Library Port
since the last time that Tape Data Packet 3 was read.
The tape drive within the library sets this status after
each read of the Tape Data Packet 3 except if the BHC
test is in progress.
01h BHC Test in Progress This code indicates that the BHC test was invoked via
the Library Port and is currently in progress.
02h BHC Test Pass BHC test has completed successfully; no trouble
found.
03h BHC Test Fails BHC test has failed.
04h Diagnostic Test in Progress This code indicates that a diagnostic test was in
progress when the library controller attempted to
invoke the BHC test. This prevents the BHC test from
running.
