NAME
     cleandrive - Clean drive in media changer

SYNOPSIS
     /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/cleandrive eq

AVAILABILITY
     SUNWsamfs

DESCRIPTION
     cleandrive requests that tape device eq  be  loaded  with  a
     cleaning cartridge.

     The SAM-QFS environment supports the use of a cleaning tape,
     if  cleaning tapes are supported by the hardware and if your
     media library has barcodes enabled.  If you request  that  a
     tape  drive  be  cleaned,  then  a cleaning tape is inserted
     automatically.

     Cleaning tapes must have a VSN starting with the letters CLN
     in the label or must have the word CLEAN in the label.  Mul-
     tiple cleaning tapes are allowed in a system.

     Cleaning tapes are only  useful  for  a  limited  number  of
     cleaning  cycles.   The  number  of  remaining cycles can be
     viewed in the samu (1M) VSN catalog display under the  count
     field.   The SAM-QFS environment tracks the number of clean-
     ing cycles used for each cleaning tape. If the media changer
     supports  the  export  operation,  SAM-QFS file systems will
     export the tape when the number of remaining  cycles  equals
     zero.   A  DLT  cleaning  tape  has 20 cycles and an Exabyte
     cleaning tape has 10 cycles.  Each time a cleaning  tape  is
     imported,  the cleaning cycle is reset to the highest number
     of cycles for that type of tape.
