Hi Eric!
I don´t know if this help you.
Maybe the library take up the cleaning but the cleaning was not enough for
the drive.
I have´nt work with magstar before. But I have work alot with Sony AIT
drives. And if you backup to many times without any cleaning on the AIT
drives you need to run the cleaning time four times in a row. Then the AIT
drives make a better cleaning and the cleaning LED is stop flashing.
So my point is that you maybe need to run the cleaning tape a couples times
before the Cleaning LED drop off.
Med Vänliga Hälsningar/Best Regards

Hi *SM-ers!
I haven't received an answer yet, so I'll give it another try:
In the IBM Redbook "IBM Magstar Tape Products Family: A Practical Guide" I
read the following line:
For 3590 Magstar drives, use a value of 999 mounts to perform cleaning
based
on drive request rather than library initiated.
So I changed the value to 999, but nothing happens. Both drives are still
displaying *CLEAN. The library doesn't seem to pick up the drives cleaning
request. How can I make the library clean the drives?
Thanks in advance for any reply!!!
Kindest regards,
