Hi Robert

It's worth checking that your cleaning cart has not been used up, we had
this ourselves.

A cleaning cart is only good for 20 cleans, BUT! it will still be loaded
untill you change it.

The problem is however is that it does not clean the device, hence the
cleaning light is allways on and constantly requires cleaning.

Another possibility is that you have a dodgy tape in your library, or a
drive head, but it would be unlikely to be on all drives if this was the
case.

Hope this helps

Andrew

After cleaning and continue with another backup, same thing happen and
prompt for cleaning again.
It happens to all 8 x DLT7000 drive in my ATL P3K, thinking the drive might
be sending out wrong signal but how to fix it ?

Configuration
Backup Server = Tru64 OSF1 V4.0 878 alpha, Networker 6.0.2 Build 251
Drive firmware = All in latest 2565
P3K firmware = 1.23

Any other portions should I look into this issue ?

Thanks
Robert
