Tape Drive Cleaning
Cleaning cartridges can be put into any open slot in the library. Once the library performs an inventory, it
identifies to the application software where the cartridge is for accessibility. The Sun StorEdge L25 and
L100 tape libraries do not have auto-clean features. It is up to the ISV to initiate a cleaning requirement.
When the drive requires cleaning, it sends a "cleaning required" message to the host.
Note: A bad tape may trigger a cleaning request message. However, this does not mean the head needs
cleaning, since the next good tape loaded resets the cleaning request message. If the tape cleaning
message keeps appearing, the drive needs to be cleaned.
