Why are you trying to perform Drive Diagnostic?

Are you experiencing backup failures?
If so, rather use NBU logs and OS systems logs to troubleshoot suspect drive.
See http://www.veritas.com/docs/000013667

About NBU Drive Diagnostic - there needs to be test media loaded in the drive.

See extract from NBU Admin Guide I:

5 Click Start to start the diagnostic tests.
For robotic drives, the test media is loaded automatically.
For a standalone drive, insert the prelabeled test tape that is shown in the Step
Information column of the Results window.

There is no further information about the 'test media'.
