ABSTRACT:
Diagnostic information is provided in an automated data storage library which stores magnetic tape data storage cartridges. Uninitialized magnetic tape data storage cartridges are identified; a diagnostic scan is conducted by a drive of the library of the servo tracks on magnetic tape of an identified cartridge using write criteria for a diagnostic test; the results of the diagnostic test are logged by the drive; and the logged results of the diagnostic test are collected at the library controller.
