Cleaning slots are used exclusively to store cleaning cartridges.
Configuring one or more cleaning slots enables the library's AutoClean
feature for all partitions in the library. When AutoClean is enabled, the
library is notified by a tape drive when cleaning is required, and the
library automatically cleans the tape drive using a cleaning cartridge.
You can configure cleaning slots during the initial library configuration
or at any time in the future as long as there are licensed slots available
in the library.
If no licensed slots are available, you must purchase additional slots or
modify or delete a partition to free existing slots (see
Partitions on page 51). Cleaning slots are not assigned to specific
partitions. They are shared by all partitions within a library.
A maximum of four cleaning slots can be configured. Zero cleaning slots
are configured by default.
