Clean a Drive Manually
Your library could contain more than one type of drive. So, before initiating a clean job,
make sure that the system cells have the appropriate cleaning cartridges for the drives
being cleaned. Generate a cartridge summary and drive details report to verify the
cleaning cartridges present in the library.
Note – To display a list of cleaning cartridges, see “Display Cleaning Cartridges” on
page 111.
Note – You can initiate a manual clean even if the “drive needs cleaning” status is
“false.”
