Host Controlled Cleaning - Quantum Scalar 1000 Operator's Manual

Host Controlled Cleaning

Use this procedure if host drive cleaning cannot be disabled.
The host application is responsible for defining, using, and
tracking cleaning tapes.
Library AutoClean must be disabled. The host must not share
the library controlled cleaning tapes because the library does
not track host-directed cleaning, and consequently, does not
increment the use counter.
Some host applications do not recognize the drive cleaning
request. They count the number of loads to determine when
to clean. For additional information, refer to Immediate
AutoClean on page 20.
