From the Return Media Identifier drop-down list, click either Suffix, Pass Through, Prefix,
or Disabled. Depending on which setting you choose, you can control the use of the
media type identifier in the volume serial number that is returned to the host.
CAUTION: After a media volume serial number has been reported to a host, changing
the Return Media Identifier setting could cause the host to not recognize media within the
library.
For more information about how media policies work, see “Understanding partition media
policy settings” (page 27) .

For Automatic Drive Cleaning, select Enable if this functionality is desired. This setting is
disabled by default.
NOTE: Periodic drive cleaning allows drive cleaning to be scheduled for pre-determined
intervals. This functionality is only supported with LTO-5 and newer drives.
Enabling automatic drive cleaning allows the library to initiate drive cleaning each time
a drive requests a cleaning operation. For automatic drive cleaning to function, you must
first configure drive cleaning for the library (see
“Configuring drive cleaning” (page 61) ).
NOTE: Automatic drive cleaning should be enabled for partitions only if the host
application does not support the coordination of drive cleaning. If drive cleaning
functionality is enabled on the host application, do not enable automatic drive cleaning
for any partitions in the library.
