Enable Library-Managed Drive Auto Cleaning

Library managed cleaning automatically mounts a cleaning tape when the drive requests it.

Library-managed auto cleaning is the easiest and most flexible way to clean drives. When enabled, the library automatically mounts a cleaning cartridge when the drive requests it.

2. From the remote interface, select Configuration in the left menu.
3. Click Configure .
4. Select Configure Library Settings, and then click Next.
5. Set Drive Auto Clean to On.
6. Set System Reserved Slots to 1 or 2. To use the auto cleaning, you must reserve at least one system slot for a cleaning cartridge.
7. Click Next. If applicable, click Next again to bypass the partitioning configuration.
8. On the summary screen, select Accept all changes and then click Apply.
