In Host Initiated Cleaning Mode, drive cleaning is enabled by your
System Administrator at the host computer. Although the library unit
will internally track cleaning tape cartridge movement and use, the
library unit provides no cleaning support in this mode. The host is
responsible for all cleaning functions such as detecting when a drive
requires cleaning, tracking and selecting cleaning tape cartridges,
initiating media movement of the cleaning tape cartridge to the drive
and determining when a cleaning tape cartridge has been “used up.”
Drive cleaning in the Fully Automatic Cleaning Mode is also enabled by
your System Administrator at the host computer. However, in this
mode, the library unit monitors each drive’s status to determine when
a drive requires cleaning and initiates action when that determination
is made. In this case, the library unit selects an available cleaning tape
cartridge, handles media movement of the cleaning tape cartridge to
and from the drive and supervises the cleaning operation in the drive.
The library unit tracks cleaning tape cartridges within the library,
monitors cleaning tape cartridge use and determines when a cleaning
tape cartridge has been “used up.” A “used up” cleaning tape
cartridge is exported from the library to the load port under control of
the library.
The library is shipped with automatic drive cleaning disabled. If you
want this feature enabled, you can use the
Auto Clean
sub-menu.
Enabling/Disabling the Retry Option

If a failure occurs during a movement command and this option is
enabled, the library will attempt to recover and retry the operation. If
this option is disabled, no retries are made and the error is reported the
first time. The default is to have retries enabled. If you want this
feature disabled, you can use the
Retries
sub-menu.
