Scalar i500 User's Guide
The cleaning count is the number of times a cleaning cartridge has been
9
used to clean a tape drive. Knowing this can help you decide when to
replace a cleaning cartridge. The cleaning count is now listed in two
locations:
•Library Configuration Report (from the Web client, select
Library Configuration
•Export Cleaning Media screen (from the Web client, select
Cleaning Media > Export
The preferred method of labeling a cleaning cartridge is to have
9
as the prefix on the label. Any cartridge detected with a
CLNU
prefix will be considered a universal cleaning cartridge, regardless
CLNU
of any media identification extension. Cartridges containing a media
identification of
cartridges and will be tracked and treated as if the media label contained
the prefix
CLN
When AutoClean is enabled (at least one cleaning slot has been
9
configured), you can use the Import Cleaning Media operation to import
cleaning cartridges from the I/E station to designated cleaning slots. For
information on configuring cleaning slots, see
on page 78. For a description of AutoClean, see
Drives on page 258.
When manual cartridge assignment is enabled (the default setting), you
cannot import cartridges via the operator panel until you have assigned
them to a specific partition or to the system partition. Cleaning cartridges
should always be assigned to the system partition. Assigning cleaning
cartridges to the system partition makes them available to all partitions in
the library. For more information about manual cartridge assignment, see
Importing Media
Assignment on page 77.
You must have access to the library's I/E station and the operator panel
to import cleaning cartridges.
