The PLM normally uses the cartridge with the fewest available cycles for cleaning to
avoid shelves being occupied unnecessarily by partially used cartridges. An exception
to this strategy is made only if multiple cleaning requests are handled simultaneously.
It can take some time to complete this job. Processing takes place asynchronously. After a
while it is thus, for example, advisable to check in the "Global Status" to see whether the
volumes have actually been included. Any errors are displayed using system messages
(see the

This function is not available in Observe mode.
The following window allows you to remove physical volumes from the PLM data mainte-
nance system so that they are not be to used in the future.
The volume is identified by the name and physical volume group. Number specification is
based on the usual CentricStor convention that you do not assign numbers but, instead,
volume names which are formed by incrementing the right-hand digits of the specified start
name. If volumes within this name space cannot be deleted, these volumes nevertheless
"count".
The "ReorganizeFirst" option controls the process if a volume that is to be deleted still
contains valid data.
