Hey there all;

I'm running ADSM V2 for AIX. I've got a pair of 3590B11 tape drives. I would
like to set up a simple procedure for cleaning the tape drives. I would rather
not have our operators take the drive(s) out of "random" mode in order to
manually load the cleaing cartridge.

I would prefer a procedure that would load the cleaning cart from the priority
cell and then run a program/script that would clean the drive and then unload
the cleaner back out to the priority cell.

A utility (tapeutil) that is part of the software package installed with the
drive may be useful for this purpose, but as of yet I have not been able to
make it work.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Ivan
