Attention: If your library originally contained a Dedicated Cleaning Slot and was
removed, it can only be reinstated by restoring factory default settings.
To enable automatic cleaning of the drives when needed, a slot must be reserved, a
cleaning cartridge must be present in the reserved slot, and Auto Clean must be
enabled.
Reserving Slots
Reserving a slot is accomplished by reducing the Active Slot count in any
particular logical library. Slots are reserved beginning with the last available slot in
the last magazine of the library. A cleaning cartridge in a reserved slot is available
to any logical library drive even if the reserved slot is not in that logical library.
Typically, if the library contains multiple logical libraries, the last logical library is
chosen for the reserved slot containing the cleaning cartridge. As with a library
with a single logical library, this slot is the last physical slot in the library (top
right magazine, uppermost rear slot).
Note: Configure the required number of reserved slots prior to enabling Auto
Clean.
To reserve a cleaning slot, follow these steps.
v To reserve slots in your library, go to the Web User Interface at “Choosing
General Library Settings” on page 4-19 or the Operator Control Panel at
“Configure: Library” on page 5-20 to get directions on reducing the Active slot
count.
