Cleaning Tape Drives
Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide 129
A maximum of four cleaning slots can be configured. Zero cleaning slots
are configured by default.
If no licensed slots are available, you must purchase additional slots or
modify or delete a partition to free existing slots. For information on
how to modify partitions, see
Modifying Partitions on page 57. For
information on how to delete partitions, see Deleting Partitions on
page 57. Cleaning slots are not assigned to specific partitions. They are
shared by all partitions within a library.
You do not need to configure cleaning slots if you clean tape drives
manually. For more information about manual tape drive cleaning, see
Manually Cleaning Tape Drives on page 134.
You do not need to configure cleaning slots if you use host-based
cleaning. Cleaning slots are not visible to the host application. To use
host-based cleaning, configure zero cleaning slots in the library and set
up your host application to manage the cleaning process. See your host
application documentation for more information.
