Cleaning Enhancements

Drive Cleaning
•
When a tape alert is issued that indicates cleaning is necessary, the drive is automatically
cleaned.

You can manually choose a drive on the
Library
tab to initiate cleaning.

Auto Clean

cartridges, go to
Configuration > Physical > Auto Clean Cartridge
pane, and then click
Import Clean Cartridges
. To remove expired cleaning cartridges, click
Export expired
Cleaning Mediums
.
To use the auto clean functionality, you must first create a cleaning partition. If you choose to
use the
Auto Clean Cartridges
feature, you do not need to configure clean pools. To create a
cleaning partition, you can use the
Create Clean Partition Wizard
.

Creating Clean Partitions
Cleaning partitions contain only cleaning cartridges designated for auto-cleaning operations.
Assigned cartridges in a cleaning partition are not considered part of the logical library.
You can create cleaning partitions during the initial configuration and at any time after that, as
long as unassigned slots are available. If no slots are available, you can still create a cleaning
partition using the
Create Cleaning Partitions
wizard.
The new cleaning enhancements are SCSI-only For more information, see the
Scalar DLC
Reference Guide
