Cleaning a Drive 5
Use the Drives dialog box to manually initiate a drive cleaning operation.
When cleaning a drive, you can use cleaning media inserted in the I/E
station or media in an assigned cleaning magazine.
Before you manually initiate a drive cleaning operation, you must add
cleaning media to the library. (The cleaning media must be appropriate for
the type of drive being cleaned, for example, LTO or DLT.)
There are two ways to add cleaning media to the library:
• Insert cleaning media into the I/E station and close the I/E station
door.
• Configure drive cleaning by assigning cleaning magazines and
importing cleaning media. (For more information on configuring
drive cleaning, see
Configuring Drive Cleaning on page 179.)
After adding cleaning media to the library, manually initiate a drive
cleaning operation.
The Save option is available to remote client users
only. It appears grayed out on the touch screen.
If the host application coordinates drive cleaning,
or if automatic drive cleaning is enabled for the
partition, you do not need to manually initiate a
drive cleaning operation to perform routine
cleaning tasks. In these cases, routine cleaning is
handled by the host application or the library, and
you should manually initiate a drive cleaning
operation only as part of a troubleshooting
procedure.
