I'm assuming you have LTO tape drives inside the library. Most of
the drive manufacturers recommend not cleaning the drives too often--
the cleaning tapes are reputedly mildly abrasive, and using them too
much is not good for the tape heads!
We have a TS3310 library, and it (theoretically) cleans its own
drives when it thinks they need it. This supposes that you have
loaded cleaning tapes into the monster.
How long had your library been in use when you received the CPF3794
error? Evidently that's too long without a cleaning! Perhaps clean
when you've run about 2/3 as many tapes through the machine! I'd say
no more than once a month, depending on usage.
Does the 3100 have a GUI to review and control the library? Explore
all of the options to see if there's cleaning option, or a place to
monitor the drive status for errors or a 'clean me' message.

Hi.
We have been using the TS3100 tape library to backup the data every day.
We got the CPF3794 because the tape drive is dirty.
How often do you clean the tape on TS3100?
Do you clean it by auto or manual ?
We appreciate any advices.
Kind Regards.
