configure the cleaning partition before you configure the data 
partitions.

Note:

If all of the enabled chambers in your library are already 
assigned to an existing partition, you must modify or delete one

partition.

Cleaning partitions provide permanent storage for cleaning cartridges

compatible with the tape drives in the data partitions. You can add 
Automatic Drive Cleaning support by purchasing an activation key from 
Spectra Logic.

When the Automatic Drive Cleaning option is activated, the library 
automatically makes any chambers that are not already configured for use 
in another partition available for use in cleaning partitions. The library 
gives you the option reserving one unused chamber for a cleaning partition 
each time you create a data partition.
