Reporting of Cleaning Mode C-5
Reporting of Cleaning Mode
Reporting of the current cleaning mode may be obtained by using either the
diagnostic software or through a host initiated Mode Sense command.
Diagnostic Software
To obtain a report of the current cleaning mode using the diagnostic software,
select “Report Clean Tape” from the “Config” Menu. In response, the current
cleaning mode is displayed as well as the bar code label, the number of uses
of the cleaning cartridges, and the “home and current” storage element
location for each of the cleaning cartridges in the library.
Mode Sense Command (Host Initiated)
A host initiated Mode Sense command can be used to obtain a report of the
current cleaning mode. The type of report requested is determined by the Page
Control field of the Mode Sense command and the data is located in bit
number 1 in the first parameter byte (following the Page Length byte in the
vendor unique page). A bit value of 1 indicates that Fully Automatic Cleaning
Mode is enabled or that the mode is changeable, as appropriate. A bit value of
0 indicates that Host Initiated Cleaning Mode is enabled or that the mode is
not changeable, as appropriate.
Cleaning Cartridges
In Host Initiated Cleaning Mode, the host is fully responsible for identifying,
tracking and monitoring cleaning cartridges. Although the library internally
tracks cleaning cartridge locations and use, this information is not available to
the host.
In Fully Automatic Cleaning Mode, the library tracks cleaning cartridge
locations, monitors cleaning cartridge use to determine when a cleaning
cartridge has been “used up” and exports used cleaning cartridges from the
library.
Capacity
A maximum of ten cleaning cartridges may be present in the library at any
given time. If more than ten cleaning cartridges are present in the library, the
library moves the additional cartridges to the loadport for manual unloading.
