Chapter 6: Performing Library Operations
Cleaning Tape Drives
170 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Manually Cleaning Tape
Drives
When a tape drive needs cleaning, it notifies the library. If the library’s
AutoClean feature is not enabled (meaning, no cleaning slots have been
configured), the library generates a diagnostic ticket informing you that
the tape drive needs cleaning.
Details about manually cleaning tape drives include:
Be sure to unload the tape drive before attempting to clean it. If the
tape drive is loaded with a cartridge, it will not be available for this
operation.
Be sure to use a valid cleaning cartridge. If you use a data cartridge,
for example, the operation will not complete, and the library will
issue a diagnostic ticket. See
Valid Cleaning Cartridges on page 164.
If you have at least one cleaning slot configured (see Configuring
Cleaning Slots on page 59), the library uses a cleaning cartridge
from either the topmost I/E station slot, or a configured cleaning
slot. If the cleaning cartridge is in the top I/E station slot and manual
cartridge assignment is enabled, assign the cleaning cartridge to the
System partition.
On the Web client, you can choose to use a configured cleaning
slot or the topmost I/E station slot. If two or more cleaning slots
are configured and have cleaning cartridges in them, the library
chooses which cleaning cartridge to use.
On the operator panel, the library chooses which cleaning
cartridge to use, in this order: 1) topmost I/E station slot, and
2)
one of the configured cleaning slots.
If you have zero cleaning slots configured, you must use a cleaning
cartridge in the topmost I/E station slot. If manual cartridge
assignment is enabled, assign the cleaning cartridge to the System
partition.
The associated partition is taken offline during the operation and
brought back online when the operation completes. You will be
asked to confirm that you want to take the partition offline.
When the operation is complete, the library moves the cleaning
cartridge back to the I/E station slot or cleaning slot.
You can clean tape drives manually at any time using commands on the
operator panel or the Web client.
