Yes the library will auto clean, however it must be set up to do so. The
number of tapes available must be set to 22 ( assuming a 24 tape unit) one
for the I/O door and one for the cleaning tape. The cleaning tape must
also be in the correct slot, 24, if I remember correctly. Takes about two
minutes in the GUI to set it up and it's self evident how to with a little
exploring.
We see about once every 50 or so tape operations, so about once a month.

On a TS3100 if you merely move a cleaning tape to the drive, it does it
automatically.
And you can also tell the library through its web interface to clean
itself, and it looks for a cleaning tape in its magazine.

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
whentapes 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
theyou'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
day.drive status for errors or a 'clean me' message.

Hi.
We have been using the TS3100 tape library to backup the data every
list--
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.
