IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool - eXtended Edition 9.0

IBM Tape Diagnostic Tool - eXtended Edition (ITDT-EE) is a diagnostics and maintenance utility for environments that use IBM tape drives and libraries. It discovers connected devices, runs non-destructive tests, validates media, and collects detailed logs to speed troubleshooting.

Key capabilities:

• Device discovery and inventory across supported IBM LTO and 3592 drives and TS-series libraries
• Health checks and performance tests (read/write, throughput, and media validation)
• Log capture and support package generation to streamline support cases
• Firmware update and selected configuration tasks for supported components
• Library operations: load/unload, slot-to-drive moves, cleaning cycles, and barcode scans
• Clear pass/fail reporting with detailed diagnostics suitable for scripted or guided use
