Goal

Process To Run Diagnostics On An Encrypted T10000 Drive.

Solution

Steps to Follow
The following process is one that has been tested in-house using the current drive code and VOP version on encrypting drive.  Other VOP/drive code combination's may also work using this process but has not been fully tested.
Requirements:   T10000 -  firmware 1.41.x11 or higher
                            VOP - release 1.0.13 or higher
                           Dump tape created on a non-encrypting drive.

References:     Virtual Op Panel User's Guide

Short procedure:

1. Start the Home FTP Server application. (ensure that it is configured properly)
2. Bring up VOP and connect to the drive.
3. Take the drive offline.
4. Select Diagnostics
5. Select Run FDE from the dropdown.
6. Select one or more tests to run from the dropdown.
7. Click OK.
8. The diagnostic tests should begin. Look for a message to load the tape into the drive in the VOP display. Load the un-encrypted dump tape into the drive.
9. Diagnostics will run to completion.

Note:
Once you successfully run diags on the non-encrypted dump tape one time, that tape will become an encrypted dump/diag tape. It will continue to work for either dumps or diags and can be used many times as long as you leave it as a dump tape.
