Re:Tape drive constantly needs cleaning

Jessica,

We have found that if you are at V4R3, you may get a message indicating that
your tape drive needs to be cleaned.  We downloaded a PTF from IBM that took
care of the problem.  Don't know if you are at V4R3 or not, but if you are, you
might want to look into this.

I have a tape drive (13 GB) on my 170 that seems to constantly need to be
cleaned
(every few days).  It's only 2 months old and I am going through cleaning tapes
like crazy.  Is this normal for higher storage drives?

Thanks,

Jessica
