Mount a cleaning volume in a tape drive, clean the drive, and
eject the cleaning volume.
Prerequisites
To prepare for tape drive cleaning, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Assign a cleaning volume to the cleaning group
(CL) with the volnew command for SCSI-attached
libraries or the bulkinlet command for
network-attached libraries.
Step 2. Use the volclattr command to define drive-specific
attributes.
• For appropriate cleaning attributes, refer to your
drive manual.
• Accept the AMASS-generated default values for
IBM 3590 drives. Do not alter these values!
Step 3. View cleaning attributes with the vollist - g CL
command, if desired.
Note
Currently the CL volume group can contain only one
type of cleaning cartridge. For example, if you have
both a DTF drive and a 3590 drive, your CL volume
group must contain only DTF cleaning cartridges or
exclusively 3590 cleaning cartridges.
