I too can't tell if and  when my LTO2 tape drives are cleaned
My tape drives are in a NEO4000 libray with  auto clean turned ON.

Also  how  can I find out many cleaning cycles are left on the cleaning
tape ?

ThanksInAdvance

Bill

I've been looking for messages from the LTO2 drives stating they need
cleaning. I know that the library auto cleaning is turned off and by
looking
at it through the web interface that is true. I can also see that there is
a
C on one of the drives looking through the same web interface. TSM is
configured to clean the drive as needed but I don't see the drive sending
any message to the TSM server stating such. I can run "clean drive" just
fine from the command line and thus the C through the 3584 web interface
clears the "C".



I've tried looking for the ANR8914I message but don't see one. Is there
something I've missed?



Thanks,
