For example, the following command sets the cleaning cycle count to 20 for the

▼ To Clean a Tape Drive
When automatic cleaning is not available and the system uses barcodes, perform the
following procedure to request manually that a drive be cleaned:
● Use the cleandrive(1M) command.
For eq, specify the equipment ordinal of the automated library as defined in the mcf
file. This is the drive to be loaded with the cleaning cartridge.
Tape Drive Auto-Cleaning
Beginning with Sun StorageTek SAM 4U4, the default setting for software-initiated
tape drive cleaning is off, which forces the user to choose between a hardware-
initiated or software-initiated tape drive cleaning strategy.
A hardware-initiated cleaning strategy uses the media changer’s built-in auto-
cleaning feature.
■ In order to use this feature, you may need to put cleaning cartridges in special
slots.
■ See the manufacturer's documentation for directions.
A software-initiated cleaning strategy uses the Sun StorageTek SAM auto-cleaning
feature.
■ The logsense option is an enhancement to this feature that prevents a drive
from using expired cleaning media.
■ For the Sun StorageTek SAM auto-cleaning feature to be enabled, the hardware-
initiated cleaning should be disabled and the following line should appear in the
defaults.conf file:
# chmed -count 20 50:77
cleandrive eq
tapeclean = all autoclean on logsense on
