Private | Specifies that the volume is not part of the library's pool of scratch volumes. A private volume is mounted only when its volume name is requested by name. The default is Private. |

Cleaner | Specifies the volume is a cleaner cartridge and not a data cartridge. This option applies only to SCSI libraries. The Cleanings parameter is required. |
This optional parameter determines if the label on the volume is read. The default option is Yes.
Yes | Specifies that during check-in an attempt is made to read the media label. Yes is not valid for cleaner cartridges. The default is Yes. |
No | Specifies that during check-in the media label is not read. Selecting this value can result in future errors that must be resolved through library audit processing. |
