Configuring Drive Cleaning
When you create or modify a partition, you can specify that tape drives
in that partition be cleaned each time the library requests a cleaning
operation.
For drive cleaning to function, you must configure it for the library. To
configure drive cleaning, first assign cleaning magazines, and then
import cleaning media. Designated cleaning media can also be used
when manually cleaning drives. (Cleaning magazines and media are not
part of any logical partition, and so are not visible to the host
application).
If cleaning magazines are no longer needed, you can unassign them. In
addition, you can export expired cleaning media to remove it from the
library.
Note: Slots configured for drive cleaning affect the number of
licensed COD slots.
Note: Drive cleaning should be enabled for partitions only if the host
application does not support the coordination of drive
cleaning. If drive cleaning functionality is enabled on the host
application, do
not enable drive cleaning for any partitions in
the library.
For more information about enabling automatic drive cleaning
for a partition, see
Working With Partitions on page 128 on
page 171. For more information about manually cleaning
drives, see Cleaning a Drive on page 566.
