Drive Cleaning

Manual Cleaning

If auto clean is disabled, you must initiate drive clean operations manually. To verify
whether a drive needs cleaning, you can use the SL Console to display a drive's
cleaning status and the date when it was last cleaned.
Even if auto clean is enabled, you may want to clean a drive before it is due. Therefore,
you can initiate a manual clean at any time.
To locate the correct type of cleaning cartridge for a particular drive, you can use the
SL Console to generate a cartridge summary and drive details report.
