Drive Cleaning Indicators
Automatic cleaning of the drives by the tape
library can be disabled (although
it is not recommended). When automatic cleaning is disabled, the cleaning of the drives must be
managed by the host application or manually by the operator.
Note: Failure to clean a drive might
result in data loss.
For a description of how cleaning indicators are presented from the drive, see the applicable drive's SCSI command reference. The cleaning indicators might be presented even with automatic cleaning enabled in a library environment.
