Drives occasionally need to be cleaned to prevent read/write errors.
The Auto Clean feature is enabled when your tape library is initializing and detects cleaning cartridges in the reserved cells. When a drive requires cleaning while Auto Clean is enabled, the robot will receive a software message telling it to retrieve a cleaning cartridge and place it into the drive.
If Auto Clean is not enabled, you must manually import a cleaning cartridge for the drive that requires cleaning. The Clean Drive request appears on the operator panel’s display.
Refer to For cleaning cartridge information specific to your drive type, see Drives and Media on page 135. on page 88 for more information and procedures.
