Performance Tools
Effects of poor system performance can range from increased mechanical wear to missed backup
windows. There may also be increased cleaning requests or reduced media life due to multiple passes of
the media over the tape drive head. This all leads to decreased customer satisfaction. L&TT offers users a
variety of performance analysis tools to identify where bottlenecks may exist in a system. These tools will
help assess the system allowing the user to:
Verify that the tape drive operates at specified transfer rates
Verify that the disk subsystem can provide data that fast
Verify that the disk subsystem can accept restored data at the expected rates

Test Functions
L&TT provides several standard and advanced tests that can be used to check the performance of or to
diagnose issues with storage hardware. After each test is run, test results can be reviewed and are
included in the application's event log. A user may perform the following tests on libraries and
autoloaders:
Device Self Test (internal self-test of the device)
Device Analysis Test (analysis of the device logs)
Library Exerciser Test (exercise the robotics and robot drive hardware)
Library Read Write Test (exercise the robotics and drives together)
Media IDs Test (link media cartridge ID to barcode)
A user may perform the following tests on drives:
Tape Drive Assessment Test (15 minute comprehensive health check)
Media Assessment Test (comprehensive media health check for Ultrium)
Device Self Test (internal self-test of the device)
Device Analysis Test (analysis of the device logs)
Connectivity (ability of the host to communicate with the device)
Media Validation (determine quality of the media)
Read/Write (verify the ability of the drive to read/write data independent of the storage
application) - superseded by the Assessment Test
Support Tickets

Support Tickets
L&TT will automatically generate a support ticket based on information that the application determines
about the system. This information can be used to diagnose the issues with the storage hardware. The
tool can automatically email the support ticket to the HP service and support organization to assist the
help desk technician in resolving the issues. Browser links to common HP Web sites are also provided.
Support tickets can also be used to find out operational and usage information from the device. Ultrium,
in particular, has a very useful support ticket categorized into user friendly sections rather than basic
device logs.
