IBM TS3100 Setup, Operator, And Service Manual page 189

To enable automatic cleaning of the drives when needed, a slot must be reserved, a cleaning cartridge
must be present in the reserved slot, and Auto Clean must be enabled.
Reserving slots
Reserving a slot is accomplished by reducing the Active Slot count in any particular logical library. Slots
are reserved beginning with the last available slot in the last magazine of the library. A cleaning cartridge
in a reserved slot is available to any logical library drive even if the reserved slot is not in that logical
library. Typically, if the library contains multiple logical libraries, the last logical library is chosen for the
reserved slot containing the cleaning cartridge. As with a library with a single logical library, this slot is
the last physical slot in the library (top right magazine, upper rear slot).
Note: Configure the required number of reserved slots prior to enabling Auto Clean.
v To reserve slots in your library or to reserve a cleaning slot, go to the Web User Interface at "Choosing
general library settings" on page 61 or the Operator Control Panel at "Configure: Library" on page 100
to get directions on reducing the Active slot count.
