Cleaning Frequency
Cleaning Frequency does not apply to shared drives or to any robots that do not support
frequency-based cleaning.
If you want to set up a frequency-based cleaning schedule for the drive, set the number of
mount hours between each drive cleaning. When you add a drive or reset the mount time
to zero, Media Manager starts recording the amount of time that volumes have been
mounted in that drive.
If you do not specify a cleaning frequency (the default frequency is zero), you can still
utilize automated drive cleaning with the TapeAlert feature, provided all of the following
conditions have been met:
◆
The robot supports TapeAlert.
◆
A cleaning volume has been defined in Media Manager.
