requests that tape device eq be loaded with a cleaning cartridge.
The Oracle HSM 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. Multiple 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 Oracle HSM environment tracks the number of cleaning cycles used for
each cleaning tape. If the media changer supports the export operation,
Oracle HSM 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.
