for each test cycle requested. When completing the “Slot To Slot” test, you will
need to Inventory your library before placing it back online, since this test
scrambles the cartridge slot locations.
The user selects the number of test cycles before starting the test from the

Service Library: Perform Key Path Diagnostics
Please refer to http://support.dell.com to determine the availability of this feature.
Important: Ensure that library firmware and drive firmware are up to date before
running the Key Path Diagnostic. Library firmware level must be
greater than 6.xx. See “Verifying/Updating Firmware” on page 4-17.
The key path diagnostics test provides the ability to perform diagnostics on the
encryption key path. Only drives that are set up for library managed encryption
will be tested. All drives are listed in the test results, even if the drive is not
enabled for library managed encryption.
The test consists of four parts:
v Drive Test: This test ensures that the LDI is functioning properly.
v Ethernet Test: In this test, the library pings each EKM server IP address.
v EKM Path Test: In this test, the library performs an EKM communication test on
each EKM server IP address that passed the Ethernet Test.
v EKM Config Test: This test confirms that a drive is correctly configured in the
EKM to service key requests.
To
run the Key Path Diagnostic, complete the following procedure.
1. Log on to the Web User Interface. Refer to “Login” on page 2-5.
2. Click Service, then Key Path Diagnostics.
