Chapter 9 Running Your Library
About Cleaning Tape Drives
Scalar i500 User’s Guide 263
Details on exporting cleaning cartridges include:
• You must have access to the library’s I/E station and the operator
panel to export cleaning cartridges.
• You can only export cartridges if empty I/E station slots are
available.
You need to provide the following information in the
Export Cleaning
Media
screens to export cleaning media:
•
Media — The tape cartridges that you want to export.
The screen includes information about the number of empty I/E station
slots in the library. The number of cleaning cartridges you can export is
limited to the number of empty I/E station slots. The screen also displays
the cleaning status (usable/expired) and cleaning count (the number of
times the cartridge was used to clean a tape drive) for each cleaning
cartridge in the library.
The paths to open the appropriate screens are as follows:
• From the Web client, select
Operations > Cleaning Media > Export.
• From the operator panel, select
Operations > Export Cleaning Media.
For step-by-step procedures, see the library’s online Help. To access the
online Help system, click the
Help icon at the top right of the Web client or
operator panel user interface.
Note: If your library has zero I/E station slots, you cannot import or
export cleaning media. See Configuring I/E Station Slots on
page 73.
Note: Once the export operation has started, do not interfere with
the operation by opening and closing the I/E station door.
Note: You can filter the list of media by entering all or part of a
barcode in the
Search text box. Use an asterisk (*) to search
with wildcards. You can also sort the list by clicking on
columns with bold headings. For example, selecting the
Location column heading sorts the list by location coordinates.
