during tape transport cleaning. The default can be changed by using the MNTD EJctauto
command.
Managing Over-use Cleaning Cartridges
If an operator is not available to empty a CAP, it may be desirable to retain over-use
cleaning cartridges in the LSM for later removal.
The MNTD EJctauto command allows you to control processing of over-use cleaning
cartridges.
Options for this command include:
ON
Use this option when operators are available to remove cleaning cartridges from a
CAP during automated tape transport cleaning. ON is the initial value for the HSC.
MSg Use this option when operators are available to respond to console messages
during automated tape transport cleaning.
OFf
With this option, no operator intervention is required for automated tape transport
cleaning.
When the HSC is searching for a cleaning cartridge to clean a tape transport, it skips all
over-use cleaning cartridges that are detected in the ACS until it finds a compatible
cleaning cartridge.
If no compatible cleaning cartridges are found in the ACS, the HSC prompts the operator
to enter a cleaning cartridge or skip the clean process.
If compatible over-limit cleaning cartridges are found in the ACS, the HSC acts based on
the MNTD EJctauto setting.
• If MNTD EJctauto(ON) or (MSg) are set, an operator prompt is issued. The operator
can reply to use one of these over-limit cleaning cartridges, enter a cleaning
cartridge, or skip the clean process.
• If MNTD EJctauto(OFf) is set, a compatible over-limit cleaning cartridge is
automatically selected to clean the transport.
When the clean process is finished, the cleaning cartridge is dismounted from the tape
transport. If the cleaning cartridge is over-use (over-limit or spent), the HSC acts based on
the MNTD EJctauto setting.
• If MNTD EJctauto(ON) is set, the cleaning cartridge is automatically ejected from
the ACS.
• If MNTD EJctauto(MSg) is set, an operator prompt is issued. The operator can reply
to eject the cleaning cartridge from the ACS or keep the cleaning cartridge in the
ACS.
• If MNTD EJctauto(OFf) is set, the cleaning cartridge is automatically kept in the
ACS.
