Managing the AMASS File System

Create a Cleaning Volume Group

To create a volume group used solely for cleaning cartridges, use the procedure in the following table.

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.

Note

For detailed information on the AMASS commands, see the "Command Reference" chapter.
