Chapter 4: Configuring the Library
Configuring Cleaning Slots
62 Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide
Cleaning slots do not need to be configured if you clean tape drives
manually. For more information about manual tape drive cleaning, see
Manually Cleaning Tape Drives on page 169. In addition, you do not
need to configure cleaning slots if you use host-based cleaning.
Cleaning slots are not visible to the host application. To use host-based
cleaning, configure zero cleaning slots in the library and set up your
host application to manage the cleaning process. See your host
application documentation for more information.
Note: If you decrease the number of cleaning slots from what is
currently configured, the extra slots become unassigned and
available to use as storage slots in new or existing partitions.
For information on how to assign available storage slots, see
Manually Creating Partitions on page 54, and Modifying
Partitions on page 56.
Note: If the library contains zero import/export (I/E) station slots, you
will not be able to import or export cleaning cartridges. See
Configuring I/E Station Slots on page 63 for more information.
Note: This operation should not be performed concurrently by
multiple administrators logged in from different locations. You
can access the screen, but you cannot apply changes while
another administrator is performing the same operation.
