I personally like the TSM cleaning method over the Automatic one, because it
is easy to query TSM to see how many cleaning tapes are installed, and how

I agree with this logic, and we have our 3584 configured so TSM is
responsible for cleaning the drives.  I found the lack of information from
the automatic cleaning method to be a bit too opaque for my taste.
