When will the drive automatically be cleaned? How is it setup for a lights
out location?

        Yes, like this:
         ANR8914I Drive DRIVE04 (/dev/rmt/10mt) in library DLTLIB needs to
be cleaned.

        > 2. Take TSM some automatic action, if cleaning cartridge is

        You have to check in a cleaning cart in a specific way (see the
Admin guide) and
        set the "cleaning frequency" option on the drive(s) to "ASNEEDED"

        > 3. Is that action notified in actlog (which message)?

        The series of messages:
         ANR8914I Drive DRIVE04 (/dev/rmt/10mt) in library DLTLIB needs to
be cleaned.
         ...
         ANR8906I Cleaning drive DRIVE04 (/dev/rmt/10mt) in library DLTLIB.
         ANR8908I CLEAN DRIVE for drive DRIVE04 (/dev/rmt/10mt) in library
DLTLIB completed
         successfully.
