have been cleaned, and the library will issue a diagnostic ticket. See
Valid Cleaning Cartridges
on page 130.
• If you have at least one cleaning slot configured (see
Configuring
Cleaning Slots
on page 61), you use a cleaning tape from either a
configured cleaning slot or the topmost I/E station slot. If manual
cartridge assignment is enabled, assign the cleaning cartridge to the
System partition.
• On the Web client, you can choose to use a configured cleaning
slot or the topmost I/E station slot. If two or more cleaning slots
are configured and have cleaning tapes in them, the library
chooses which cleaning tape to use.
• On the operator panel, the library chooses which to use, in this
order: 1) topmost I/E station slot, and 2) one of the configured
cleaning slots.
• If you have zero cleaning slots configured, you must use a cleaning
tape in the topmost I/E station slot. If manual cartridge assignment
is enabled, assign the cleaning cartridge to the System partition.
• The associated partition is taken offline during the operation and
brought back online when the operation completes. You will be
asked to confirm that you want to take the partition offline.
• When the operation is complete, the library moves the cleaning
cartridge back to the I/E station slot or cleaning slot.
You can clean tape drives manually at any time using commands on the
operator panel or the Web client.
