Test the integration
Testing is done using the HPE Library and Tape Tools (L&TT). Within this tool, the Drive Performance test writes and reads data to/from the specified tape drive. The Entrust KeyControl KMIP server manages the keys for the writes and reads operations. Therefore, the entire system is tested.
This test needs a tape manually loaded in the drive(s). |
This test will overwrite all data on the tape, meaning that the data will be lost. |
