Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for determining a damaged area of a magnetic tape loaded in a tape drive, according to one embodiment, includes: determining a first error location on a magnetic tape where a first error occurred in response to experiencing the first error. Moreover, the method includes determining one or more areas on the magnetic tape to be examined. The one or more areas are determined using a predetermined algorithm which incorporates the first error location. Independent of a read and/or write operation, relative motion is induced between a tape head and the magnetic tape such that the tape head is positioned adjacent to each of the respective one or more areas in turn. Furthermore, each of the one or more areas having a respective number of measured servo errors which exceeds a threshold value is identified as a damaged area of the magnetic tape.

Claim (Index 9):
A computer program product for determining a damaged area of a magnetic tape loaded in a tape drive, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable and/or executable by a processor to cause the processor to:\n receive, by the processor, a first error location on the magnetic tape where a first error occurred in response to the tape drive experiencing the first error; determine, by the processor, one or more areas on the magnetic tape to be examined, wherein the one or more areas are determined using a predetermined algorithm which incorporates the first error location; independent of a read and/or write operation, instruct, by the processor, the tape drive to induce relative motion between a tape head and the magnetic tape such that the tape head is positioned adjacent to each of the respective one or more areas in turn; and identify, by the processor, each of the one or more areas having a respective number of measured servo errors which exceeds a threshold value as a damaged area of the magnetic tape.
