4 If you have no cleaning slots configured, skip this step (you will use
the top I/E station slot as the source for your cleaning cartridge). If
you have at least one cleaning slot configured, you are asked to
Select Cleaning Source. Select which location to take the cleaning
cartridge from:
• Use the top I/E slot — Allows you to use a cleaning cartridge
from the topmost I/E station slot. Make sure to install a cleaning
cartridge in the topmost I/E station slot. If manual cartridge
assignment is enabled, assign the cleaning cartridge to the
System partition.
• Use configured cleaning tapes — Allows you to use a cleaning
cartridge from a configured cleaning slot. If two or more
cleaning slots are configured and have cleaning cartridges in
them, the library chooses which cleaning cartridge to use.
5 Select one or more tape drives to clean.
Note: If not all tape drives appear on the screen, use the Page 1
of x arrows to view the additional tape drives.
Note: Bold column headings in the table can be sorted. For
example, selecting the Location column heading will sort
by location coordinates.
6 Click Apply.
7 Click OK to confirm it is OK to take the partition offline.
The library moves the cleaning cartridge to the tape drive and cleans
it. When finished, it moves the cartridge back to the cleaning slot or
I/E station.
