Chapter 8 – Maintaining the Library
Note:
In general, since old "diagnostics" are now referred to as Utilities, some
of the LC's screens and menus have changed.
To access library utilities, use the LC or RLC to select Maintenance >
Tools, then select Utilities (or Traces).

Cleaning Requests from Drives

The library now monitors drives to see if they need to be cleaned. In order for you to
see this information, the drive must be configured in a partition.
To determine the cleaning status of a drive, Select Configuration > Drives, then select
Details next to the drive you want to check. The drive details screen appears
(Figure 29). If the Cleaning Status appears as either Drive Clean or Drive Cleaning
Required.

Updating Drive Firmware

Important
74
Before upgrading drive firmware, make sure that your library
is idle and that no tapes are loaded in the tape drives.
Attempting to update the firmware while the library is busy or
with tapes in the tape drives may result in failed backup jobs
and/or upgrade failures. If you previously attempted to
upgrade drive's firmware with media loaded, unload the
tapes, and retry the operation.
