Drive Cleaning

Manual Cleaning

If auto clean is disabled, you must initiate drive clean operations manually. To verify whether a drive needs cleaning, you can use the SL Console to display a drive’s cleaning status and the date when it was last cleaned.

Even if auto clean is enabled, you may want to clean a drive before it is due. Therefore, you can initiate a manual clean at any time.

To locate the correct type of cleaning cartridge for a particular drive, you can use the SL Console to generate a cartridge summary and drive details report.
