How do you configure cleaning tapes in DP? How do you clean a drive?

HI Ray,
I beliieve most tapedrives have a light that light up when a drive needs to be cleanend, then you can just put a cleaning tape in the drive just like a normal tape, when cleaning is finisched it wil eject the tape.

Have an ice day,
HTH, Ronald

If it's a stand alone drive, just insert the cleaning tape in the drive, it will be ejected after the cleaning.

If it it's a library, in the device and media context, go to the library, then select the drive, go to settings, advanced, and select "detect dirty drive". You should have a cleaning media in your slots.
