Re: clean drive fails - cleaning tape is there, but tapeutil lostit

You didn't mention what make/model drive/library you have.
Some automated libraries should be set so library itself has
"autoclean" turned on and does the cleaning without TSM.

You also didn't say if this was manual or TSM automatic cleaning.

TSM 4.2.2.12
AIX 4.3.3

I checked in a new cleaning tape earlier this month.
After I checked it in I cleaned a couple of drives, so
I know at that point everything was good.

Now, clean drives fails with ANR8300E.  TSM still
holds a definition for the cleaner tape, the tape is
in the library (opened the door and saw it), but a
tapeutil inventory shows an empty slot at that element
address.

What could have caused this (I did a firmware upgrade
a couple of weeks ago), and more importantly, how do I
fix it?
