Notes:
1. The recommended preventative maintenance cleaning frequency is approximately 100 tape motion hours or when the
drive indicates cleaning is required. Tape motion hours are defined as the time the tape drive is moving tape.
2. When a fault occurs, the drive causes AIX to log an information error (TAPE_ERR6) in the AIX log, indicating that the
tape drive needs to be cleaned.
3. Use only IBM media. IBM only supports the use of IBM media and IBM cleaning cartridges.
4. When the tape drive indicates that the drive needs to be cleaned, it is the customer's responsibility to clean the tape
drive with the recommended cleaning cartridge.
