Enabling/Disabling
the Auto Clean
Option
2
The automatic drive cleaning feature has two modes of drive
cleaning support:
•
Auto clean enabled
•
Auto clean disabled
In disabled mode, drive cleaning is enabled by the 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.”
With auto clean enabled, the library monitors each drive’s status to
determine when a drive requires cleaning and initiates action
when that determination is made. The library 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 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 to the load port
under control of the library.
The library is shipped with automatic drive cleaning disabled.
To enable or disable the auto clean option:
1
Enter the menu mode.
