TAPEEXERCISE(8)             Legato NetWorker 4.0             TAPEEXERCISE(8)


NAME
       tapeexercise - exercise a tape drive

SYNOPSIS
       tapeexercise [ -v ] devname

DESCRIPTION
       The tapeexercise program writes sample data to a tape, and tests to
       see if positioning and read operations perform as expected.  It needs
       a write-enabled tape on the indicated (no-rewind) drive.  Tapeexer­
       cise should be used with extreme caution.  Successful completion is
       indicated by a ``<test name>: test begin,'' ``<test name>: test ok''
       pair for each test that is run.  An example is as follows:

              BasicTest: test begin
              BasicTest: test ok


OPTIONS
       -v     Operate in verbose mode.

       devname
              The device name of the tape device under test.  This should be
              a non-rewind device, following the local operating system con­
              vention.
