Configure Drive Cleaning
Enable Library-Managed Drive Auto Cleaning
Library-managed auto cleaning is the easiest and most flexible way to clean drives.
When enabled, the library automatically performs a cleaning whenever a drive
requests it.
Verify there is at least one universal LTO cleaning cartridge (media type CU) in a
1.
reserved system slot. For best drive availability, place two cleaning cartridges in
reserved slots.
From the remote interface, select Configuration in the left menu.
2.
Click Configure
3.
Select Configure Library Settings, and then click Next.
4.
Set Drive Auto Clean to On.
5.
Set System Reserved Slots to 1 or 2. To use the auto cleaning, you must reserve at
6.
least one system slot for a cleaning cartridge.
Click Next. If applicable, click Next again to bypass the partitioning configuration.
7.
On the summary screen, select Accept all changes and then click Apply.

Configure Host-Managed Drive Cleaning
Many storage-management and backup applications can manage drive cleaning (such
as Oracle Secure Backup, Symantec NetBackup, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, and
others). The host application can manage the cleaning of drives that it controls, if a
cleaning cartridge is available in a storage slot.
Advantage of host-managed cleaning:
The host remains in control of its assigned drives and storage slots at all times.
■
Disadvantage of host-managed cleaning:
In a partitioned library, each partition must contain compatible cleaning
■
cartridges, meaning you must provide duplicate cleaning media across partitions.
The extra cleaning tapes take up slots that could otherwise hold data tapes.
The sections below summarize the procedures for configuring host-managed cleaning.
Always refer to the host documentation for full details.
