Manage Expired Cleaning Cartridges

Remove expired cleaning cartridges from the library and replace them with a new cartridge.

A cleaning cartridge expires when a drive determines the cartridge is no longer usable. When the drive identifies an expired cartridge, it notifies the library. The library dismounts the cartridge, flags it as expired, and alerts the remote interface. Remove expired cleaning cartridges and replace them with new one.

If you have configured your backup or storage management application to automatically handle cleaning requests, the application may manage cleaning media for you. Consult the vendor's documentation for details.
