Validating a Cartridge
To validate the integrity of T10000 cartridges using the media validation (MV) feature,
you must define a pool of T10000C or D drives. The pool is not considered a partition,
does not contain cartridges, and hosts cannot access the drives in the pool. The library
automatically cleans MV drives.

Media Validation Requirements
■
Minimum SL3000 firmware FRS_4.30 and SLC FRS_6.50
■
A designated pool of T10000C or D drives at TTI level 5.40 or above
■
High-memory HBT card
■
Minimum STA 2.0 to automate media validation (optional)
Defining the Media Validation Pool
Before defining the pool in a SCSI library, review the
"Effect on SCSI Element IDs of
1.
Verify that hosts are not using the drives that you want to add to the pool (see the
host management software documentation). Adding a drive to the MV pool will
trigger a reconfiguration in all ELS hosts attached to the library.
Note:
MV drive cleaning occurs regardless of the auto clean status
for the entire library or partitions. Ensure there are cleaning cartridges
in the library (see
"Importing/Exporting Diagnostic and Cleaning
Important:
Hosts cannot access drives in the MV pool.
