Drive Cleaning Messages
Table 2-2 lists drive cleaning messages that might be caused by a tape. Note that:
• The tape drives do not require scheduled cleaning maintenance. Excessive use of
the cleaning cartridge can cause unnecessary wear on the drive head.
• After 20 cleaning cycles, the cleaning cartridge must be replaced.
NOTE For drive cleaning instructions, refer to “Cleaning the Library Tape Drives” on
page 3-23.
