You must have set Drive Clean Frequency in your Drive configuration. For
example, if you set it to 100 hours, then after the drive has been used for
100hours, NBU will automatically load  the clean tape to your drive and
clean the drive. But this bases on you have already have clean tape defined
in your NONE volume pool.

If you set the Drive Clean Frequency to 0 hours, NBU will disable this drive
cleaning feature.

Drive Clean Frequency setting is based on each drive
