Tape Read/Write Test (#65)
The purpose of this test is to exercise the hardware read/write circuitry and the
basic functionality of the tape cartridge. This test is done by reading 22 blocks of
data and by then writing 22 blocks of data into reserved space on the tape
cartridge.
NOTE:
This test does not check for tape cartridge data consistency, nor does it
check the integrity of every block on tape.
Tape Diagnostic Test (#66)
This test activates the diagnostic tests built into the Maintenance/Tape Processor
(MTP) firmware on the TN773 Processor circuit pack. The test verifies the basic
read/write capability of the tape drive and tape cartridge. Also, the test performs
controller/MTP hardware diagnostics.
The test reads from the tape and performs write verification testing by writing
data into a maintenance block and reading it back. It also performs a tape drive
head step check by advancing the tape drive head through all even streams on
the tape (streams 0 through 18) to make sure the head is operational.
The test does not test every data block on the tape.
