Yikes... I'm about to try this out shortly on our TZ89 Digital drives. I'll
let you know if I have problems, as this library does not have built in
intelligence and will rely upon this ADSM feature.

        Hi... has anyone tried the new CLEAN DRIVE command on a DLT tape
        library?

        When I tried to use this to clean a drive it mounted the cleaning
        tape, cleaned the drive but did not notice the process finished.

        The cleaning process did not return the tape to the library and
could
        not be cancelled.  This was about 5 minutes after the cleaning
ended.


        Anyone else tried this?


        Or should I add it to my ADSM bug list --- I finally got around to
        putting in 3 today to IBM support.
