Drive Cleaning Messages

 

Drive Cleaning Messages

 

Table 2-2 lists drive cleaning messages that might be caused by a tape. Note that:

 

• The tape drives do not require scheduled cleaning maintenance. Excessive use of

 

the cleaning cartridge can cause unnecessary wear on the drive head.

 

• After 20 cleaning cycles, the cleaning cartridge must be replaced.

 

 

NOTE

For drive cleaning instructions, refer to “Cleaning the Library Tape Drives” on

 

page 3-23.
