Inserting and Ejecting Cleaning
Cartridges
Before cleaning a drive, make sure that a cleaning cartridge is
in the library inventory, know the status of any cleaning
cartridge in the library, and know how to insert or eject a
cleaning cartridge.
If your library is host partitioned, do not use the operator
panel to move a cartridge. The library does not know the
partition limits and could move a cartridge outside of the
partitioned area, making that cartridge inaccessible to the
host.
Make sure that a slot is available for the cleaning cartridge and
then manually insert it into the library using the I/E station
and operator panel.
If the Scalar 10K library controls the cleaning operation, you
cannot share a cleaning cartridge between the primary aisle
and secondary aisle in a Dual Aisle configuration. You must
insert the cleaning cartridge into the aisle containing the tape
drive that requires cleaning. For example, if you need to clean
a tape drive located in the secondary aisle, insert the cleaning
cartridge using the secondary aisle I/E station and operator
panel.
The following procedures use the operator panel to check
cleaning cartridge status, and move cleaning cartridges in and
out of the library.
