Managing the AMASS File System

volclattr

Define attributes for cleaning volumes. For more information on drive cleaning, see the driveclean command.

Note

If a library automatically performs drive cleaning, do not configure a cleaning volume group in AMASS.

Prerequisites

To prepare for either automatic or manual drive cleaning, perform the following steps:

Step 1. Assign a cleaning volume to the cleaning group with the volnew command for SCSI-attached libraries (or bulkinlet command for network-attached libraries).

Step 2. Define drive-specific attributes to a cleaning volume with the volclattr command. For the required cleaning values, refer to your specific drive manual.

Note

Currently the CL volume group can contain only one type of cleaning cartridge. For example, if you have both a DTF drive and a 3590 drive, your CL volume group must contain only DTF cleaning cartridges or exclusively 3590 cleaning cartridges.

AMASS automatically defines the correct drive-specific values for IBM 3590 drives. Do not alter these values!
