To stably operate the LT20 S2/LT40 S2/LT60 S2, applying the latest security patches for the LTFS server OS is
recommended.
When LTFS is running, performing a manual cleaning of the LT20 S2/LT40 S2/LT60 S2 may cause a device
usage conflict or an inconsistent status for the tape cartridges or tape drives. This conflict or inconsistency
may cause an error. Do not perform a manual cleaning while LTFS is running.
