Set Cleaner Masks
Note: You can view cleaner masks from the Specialist (see “Specialist Features and
Functions” on page 396).
The Cleaner Masks window (Figure 138) allows the entry of cleaner masks.
You must set at least one of the masks (for example, CLN***). The CLN prefix is
not a requirement. You can use any valid volser. See “Cleaner Volume Masks” on
page 322 for additional information.
Note:
When you select the
Cleaner masks
option in the Cleaning window, the
following rules apply to the changing of the masks:
v A cleaner mask cannot match the volser of any data cartridge in the 3494
Tape Library. You must either enter a different cleaner mask or eject all
data cartridges in the 3494 Tape Library that match the cleaner mask
before using the mask.
v
You cannot delete a cleaner mask when there are cleaner cartridges in the
3494 Tape Library that match this mask. You must either retain this
cleaner mask or eject all cleaner cartridges that match this mask before
deleting the mask.
These rules do not apply when you change the masks as part of a full
inventory operation.
The Cleaner Masks window has the following push buttons:
OK Checks masks and saves.
Cancel
Closes the Cleaner Masks window without saving any changes.
