If the 3584 library is doing the cleanings, the backup software never sees the
cleaning cart(s).
But one might be able to do this an snmp get command.

I don't have a SCSI library, but I should think it would be relatively easy to
set up a simple monitor based upon dsmadmc -consolmode to watch for message
ANR8915I, and over time to issue Query LIBVolumes Format=Detailed to look for
"Cleanings Left" (or Select from LIBVOLUMES, to act on the CLEANINGS_LEFT
field) to perform a Checkout when the time was right, accompanied by some
message to the operator.
