cartridges must have "CLNxxxLx" as part of the bar code.
With Auto Clean disabled, the cleaning tape can be stored in any data slot if you
wish to manually clean the drives. This is not recommended.
With Auto Clean disabled, the cleaning tape can be stored in any data slot if it
was put there under Backup Application control. In other words, the Backup
Application is controlling the cleaning of the tape drives and the cleaning tape
would be imported into this library under its control.
Note: The universal cleaning cartridge has a bar code CLNUxxLx. This cleaning
cartridge is used to clean all LTO generation tape drives.
For Auto Clean to function, the following criteria must be met:
– On 4U libraries with library firmware of 1.95 or lower that still contain a
Dedicated Cleaning Slot (DCS), or 4U libraries with library firmware higher
than 1.95 that chose to retain the DCS in their library, a CLN cartridge must
be present in that slot.
– On libraries that don't have a DCS, a storage slot must be reserved (RSVD) by
reducing the active slot count by one.
– A cleaning cartridge (CLNxxxLx) must be placed or moved to the reserved
slot.
– Auto Clean must be enabled.
Note: Cleaning cartridges must be replaced after 50 cleanings. The Web User
Interface inventory screen will show the number of times the media has
been loaded, not the number of cleaning sessions remaining. Subtract this
number from 50 to determine the number of cleanings remaining.
