Eric, did you double check that you still have cleaning cycles left on your cleaning tape(s) ?

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!!!
