How to clean EML 103E Library

[Kritao]

Hi we have EML 103E Library with 4 LTO 3 drives. One of the drive shows amber led. We tried to clean the drive using LTO 1 cleaning tape, which is compatible for LTO 2 & #. Unfortunately it is not accepting the cleaning tape. We are not able to move the cleaning tape even to the slots, says move unsuccessful. can somebody help or tell us the procedure to do this.?

Hi,

Yuo can manually take out this cleaning media and try with a different media. If the maximum usage of the cleaning is completed we can see this kind of a behavour. Try using a new cleaning media and assign a cleaning slot from the backup application and insert this cleaning slot from that slot. Your backup application should be able to track the life of the cleaning media.
