. VERIFY INSTALLED DEVICE
. Performs a SCSI INQUIRY on the device specified by
. the user setup information which was set using the
. main menu "F2-Setup" option. It then displays the
. information about that installed device.
.
. RETENSION TAPE
. Winds to the end of the tape then back again. New
. tapes should be retensioned before they are used
. for the first time.
.
. ERASE TAPE
. Erases all data on the tape. You do not need to
. erase tapes before using them. This is provided as
. an option.
.
. DISPLAYS EXISTING SCSI DEVICES
. Searches for Host Adapters and SCSI devices
. installed in your system, then displays the SCSI
. devices that were detected for each host adapter.
.
. REWIND TAPE
. Rewinds the tape so that the magnetic recording
. region of the tape is not exposed. It is a
. good practice to store tapes in the rewound
. position.
.
. PARTITION TAPE
. Only the DAT and the PSTý-2000 minicartridge
. drives require this function. Prior to use new or
. bulk erased tapes should be partitioned to define
. the QFA directory on the tape. This function takes
. about 5 minutes for the minicartridge drives, and
. up to 10 minutes for the DAT drives.
