Library Quick Check test

Description

The Library Quick Check test performs a quick check of both the library
and installed tape drives for both VLS/D2D and real libraries. The test
checks the library move functionality and checks the read, write, and
load functions of each tape drive installed in the library.

The test starts by moving any tapes currently loaded in the tape drives
back to their source slots. If source information is not available for any
tapes loaded in drives, the test will exit with a warning and test status
Incomplete

. After moving any currently loaded tapes back to their

source slots, there must be at least one empty slot or the test will skip
the slot-to-slot move portion of the test.

The test identifies test tapes and the empty test slot based on the types
of tape drives installed in the library and the value of the Starting slot
option. For example, if the library has a mixture of LTO2 and LTO4 tape
drives and the value of the Starting slot option is 10, the test will identify
the first LTO2 tape and the first LTO4 tape starting with slot 10, and
these will be come the test tapes for that test run. There is one tape per
drive type. For example if the library has multiple LTO2 tape drives and
multiple LTO4 tape drives, the test will use two test tapes — one for the
LTO2 tape drives and one for the LTO4 tape drives. In this example, the
empty test slot will be the first empty slot found starting with slot 10.
The test exits with a warning and test status of Incomplete in any of
the following conditions:

The test cannot find a test tape for each drive type

Any of the identified test tapes are write protected

The test cannot find an empty slot.

The test fails in any of the following conditions:

The library has any move errors, including any initial moves to
return a tape to its source slot.

A tape drive has any write or read unexpected check conditions,
or the data read is different from the data written.
