Before a drive can be cleaned, you must ensure that an IBM 3592 cleaning
cartridge is loaded in the library. You can load multiple cleaning cartridges and
store them in any cartridge storage slot. To determine whether one or more
cleaning cartridges are loaded, go to the Cartridges page of the TS4500
management GUI.
3592 diagnostic cartridge
This section gives information about the appearance and usage of the 3592
diagnostic cartridge.
The 3592 diagnostic cartridge is a cartridge with verified media that is reserved for
diagnostic purposes only. In the TS4500 tape library, the diagnostic cartridge is
stored in a tier 0 cartridge storage slot. During a service call, your IBM service
representative uses the cartridge to ensure that the tape drives run correctly and to
specification. The volume serial (VOLSER) number for the diagnostic cartridge is
CE xxxJK (for TS1140, TS1150, and TS1155 tape drives), where a space occurs after
CE
and
xxx
equals three numerals.
A new diagnostic cartridge comes with the L25 frame.
3592 bar code label
Each 3592 data, cleaning, and diagnostic cartridge that is processed by the TS4500
tape library must bear a bar code label.
The label contains:
v
A volume serial (VOLSER) number that you can read
v
A bar code that the library can read
When read by the library's bar code reader, the bar code identifies the cartridge's
VOLSER to the tape library. The bar code also tells the cartridge type: data (
JA
),
extended data (
JB
), advanced type C data (
JC
), advanced type D data (
JD
),
economy (
JJ
), advanced type C economy (
JK
), advanced type D economy (
JL
),
