Re: Tapes being set to Unavailable (was Re: 3584 Cleaning Frequency)
Ask your CE about them. There are some new drive clips they can install in
the drives. Helps with dismount problems, especially tapes getting stuck.

Yep.. they are at a very recent, if not the most recent code level, along
with the library's code level. No more than 2 months old there... but
then, that could be the problem.. perhaps that code level is bad.. I will
have my CE get me the latest numbers and check that, but I suspect (hope)
that isn't the issue.

IBM.. and it is happening with frequency on tapes that are new, as well as
tapes we have had since day one. I cleaned the drives manually (using the
panel on the 3584), but we are still getting a few unavailables each
night.
I did some research on the tapes that went unavailable over the last 30
days, and all of the ones I checked had another error nearby.. indicating
that the dismount of that volume failed, and it may still be in the
drive... yet, they never are, they seem to be dismounted successfully.
I am still trying to figure this out... if anyone has a suggestion.

What is the normal clean frequency for LTO-1 drives in a 3584? I have the
drives defined to TSM with a cleaning frequency of "none", and the 3584
library set to Automatic cleaning, per recommendations. Yet, when I use
the front panel of the 3584 to look at the cleaning cartridges, one has
never been used, and the other has only been used 4 times. We have had
this library for nearly 2 years now. I started looking at this because of
the number of tapes that are marked read-only or unavailable per night
(anywhere from one to 7 so far, usually 2 or 3 per night). The eight
drives show as follows:

Re: 3584 Cleaning Frequency
Has been discussed at times here. Apparently the bottom line is that LTO drives don't need cleaning tapes very often.

Yet, when I use the front panel of the 3584 to look at the cleaning cartridges, one has never been used, and the other has only been used 4 times. We have had this library for nearly 2 years now. I started looking at this because of the number of tapes that are marked read-only or unavailable per night (anywhere from one to 7 so far, usually 2 or 3 per night). The eight drives show as follows: Drive1 Library Loads: 10391 Library Unloads:10381 Drive Loads:867 (drive1 has been reset recently) MB Written: 2903279 MB Read:1923642 Cleans: 0 -- Drive2 Library Loads: 10023 Library Unloads:10015 Drive Loads:6535 MB Written: 49313622 MB Read:26764547 Cleans: 0 -- Drive3 Library Loads: 10239 Library Unloads:10234 Drive Loads:1598 MB Written: 10083308 MB Read:5886656 Cleans: 0 -- Drive4 Library Loads: 6877 Library Unloads:6873 Drive Loads:6461 MB Written: 44438571 MB Read:25808491 Cleans: 0 -- Drive5 Library Loads: 6528 Library Unloads:6527 Drive Loads:6705 MB Written: 47722355 MB Read:28614867 Cleans: 0 -- Drive6 Library Loads: 1933 Library Unloads:1932 Drive Loads:2144 MB Written: 11874084 MB Read:6888474 Cleans: 0 -- Drive7 Library Loads: 2051 Library Unloads:2050 Drive Loads:2823 MB Written: 27765506 MB Read:7691746 Cleans: 0 -- Drive8 Library Loads: 2102 Library Unloads:2101 Drive Loads:2265 MB Written: 12299072 MB Read:8002016 Cleans: 0 These tape drives have transferred thousands of terabytes of data (what's that.. exabyte?), apparently without cleanings.

3584 Cleaning Frequency
What is the normal clean frequency for LTO-1 drives in a 3584? I have the drives defined to TSM with a cleaning frequency of "none", and the 3584 library set to Automatic cleaning, per recommendations. Yet, when I use the front panel of the 3584 to look at the cleaning cartridges, one has never been used, and the other has only been used 4 times. We have had this library for nearly 2 years now. I started looking at this because of the number of tapes that are marked read-only or unavailable per night (anywhere from one to 7 so far, usually 2 or 3 per night).
