Running a cleaning cartridge

You can manage the cleaning of the installed tape drives automatically by enabling Auto Clean mode or manually by selecting the Clean Drive menu option from the Maintenance submenu on the front panel display.

Note: It is good practice to run a cleaning cartridge using the Auto Clean Mode.

Automatically running a cleaning cartridge

You can configure the library to automatically run the cleaning cartridge. If a tape drive needs cleaning, it sends a message to the library. This activates an automatic cleaning cycle (if the cleaning cartridge slot has been reserved and Auto Clean mode has been selected from the Options menu).

To automatically run a cleaning cartridge using Auto Clean mode, reserve a cleaning cartridge slot and enable the Auto Clean mode.
