T084: Library managed cleaning cartridge is missing

Description
Detection Scenario
11-32
TS3310 Tape Library Setup and Operator Guide
1. The robot cannot move to its Y-axis parking position
after homing in Y because the front of the Y Carriage
hits the floor. Parking position is below homing
position.
2. Front and back magazine fiducial positions on the left
side are not at the same Y level. This test algorithm
can detect non-level conditions in both directions
(front high or back high).
Note: There are a few known false detection scenarios:
Certain specific size obstructions sitting on the floor of
the library. Magazines not seated correctly. Damaged
fiducials that can be detected but are detected as
mispositioned because they are damaged.
1. Robot drive gears not installed in Y racks at the same
time. This can result in the two ends of the Y
Carriage being 1 to 2 teeth out of synchronization.
2. Y racks not seated properly/evenly. Both the front
and rear Y rack are intended to be released from their
shipping latches and lowered such that the racks in
the very bottom module rest on the floor of the unit.
3. There are hardware failure and assembly failure
modes that can result in the front and rear drive
gears on the Y Carriage being excessively out of
phase with each other.

When using the library to manage drive cleaning, the
cleaning cartridges that are imported into the library are
not visible to any host and are not part of any partition.
Rather, they are in the "system" partition. Under all
circumstances, the user should use the import and export
cleaning cartridge functions to move cleaning cartridges
into and out of the cleaning slots in this "system"
partition. If the library becomes aware during inventory
that a system cleaning cartridge has been removed
manually (through an open door and/or with the power
OFF) this ticket will be used to notify the user that this
cleaning resource is now missing. Because the cartridge
has gone missing, the library cleaning functionality is no
longer in tact. It is either degraded (less cleaning
cartridges available) or totally absent (no cleaning
cartridge in the library).
1. When library inventory occurs during robot
initialization from a power ON.
2. When library inventory occurs during robot
initialization from a door close.
