Dear:



We are confuse on how to handle cleaning tape in TSM environment.



Background information:

IBM TS3200 tape library

TSM server on AIX



I had search internet; which comes out two different suggestion.



A.      Let the Tape library handle the auto-cleaning

B.      Disable Tape library auto-cleaning and configure TSM to handle
auto-cleaning



So what will be the different between them; any pros and crons of it ?



Also if we would like to insert more than one cleaning tapes, which one can
handle it ?



Please kindly share your recommendation and if any useful link to me





Best regards,
