The library attempts to unload the tape cartridge and move it into
the storage slot it was in when it was originally loaded into the tape
drive. If that storage slot is full, the library will attempt to move it
into another empty slot in the partition. If no empty slots exist, the
unload operation will fail. If this happens, you can try to perform a
move operation to move the cartridge from the tape drive to an I/E
station instead (see
Moving Tape Cartridges on page 156), or free
up a storage slot and try the unload operation again.
Cleaning Tape Drives
Tape drives require occasional cleaning. Cleaning cartridges are used to
remove accumulated residue from each tape drive’s read/write head.
Cleaning slots are used exclusively to store cleaning cartridges.
Configuring one or more cleaning slots enables the library’s AutoClean
feature for all partitions in the library. When AutoClean is enabled, the
library is notified by a tape drive when cleaning is required, and the
library automatically cleans the tape drive using a cleaning cartridge. For
more information about the AutoClean feature, see
About AutoClean
on page 164.
You can configure cleaning slots during the initial library configuration
or at any time in the future as long as there are licensed slots available
in the library. For instructions on how to configure cleaning slots, see
Configuring Cleaning Slots on page 61.
A maximum of four cleaning slots can be configured. Zero cleaning slots
are configured by default.
