    摘要: A system and method for testing I/O components without requiring initiation of the test I/O requests from the operating system via the instruction stream. An I/O system facilitates I/O operations between a processing system and I/O devices during normal I/O processing. An exerciser initiation queue is established, which corresponds to an operating initiation queue used during normal I/O processing. The I/O system is configured to monitor for test I/O requests on the exerciser initiation queue in lieu of monitoring for standard I/O requests on the operating initiation queue. A testing module enters the test I/O requests on the exerciser initiation queue in a format analogous to standard I/O requests entered on the operating initiation queue during normal I/O processing. The test I/O requests on the exerciser initiation queue are processed via the I/O system. Upon I/O completion, status may be returned to the testing module for processing of test results.

    摘要: A method for efficiently saving data to tape, preferably within the ANSI X3.27 standard format sends signals to the tape drive to allow the tape drive to buffer the required tape marks, which the standard requires. Although the standard presumed these would be required for synchronization and would be written when produced, we do not adhere to that thinking. Instead we synchronize only at the logical end of the application constructed file, or at the end of the tape in one embodiment, saving time in writing through avoiding stop-start activities of the tape drive, thus allowing newer tape drives to take advantage of the features of the ANSI X3.27 standard. We also provide an embodiment, which allows for non-ANSI standard (i.e., unlabeled) tapes to be used.
