Error description

  • The TSM server fails to clean IBM LTO 2 & 3 (TD2 and TD3)
    drives when the cleanfrequency parameter is set to asneeded.
    The actlog will show the following tapealert message but the TSM
    server does not act upon tapealert messages:
    ANR8950W Device mtx.x.x.x, volume 0000123 has issued the
    following Warning TapeAlert: The tape drive is due for
    routine cleaning:  1. Wait for the current operation to
    finish.  2. Then use a cleaning cartridge.  Check the
    tape drive users manual for device specific cleaning
    instructions. (PROCESS: XXX)
    Initial impact: Medium
    Keywords:
    MSGANR8950W CLEANFREQ CLEAN DRIVE
    

Local fix

  • Use cleanfreq=gigabytes or allow the tape library to use built
    in cleaning function by using cleanfreq=none.
