Return value

This function returns one of the following values.

Value	Meaning
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED	NTMS_CONTROL_ACCESS to the library is denied. Other security errors are also possible, but they would indicate a security subsystem error.
ERROR_ALREADY_RESERVED	Either this slot or another slot in the library has already been reserved for cleaning. To change the cleaner cartridge slot, the currently reserved cleaner slot must be released first, using the ReleaseNtmsCleanerSlot function.
ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE	The library is not currently connected.
ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE	The value that is specified in the hSession parameter is not valid.
ERROR_INVALID_SLOT	Unable to retrieve the slot definition from the database.
ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED	Unable to connect to the RSM service.
ERROR_SLOT_FULL	A cleaner slot is not reserved. The slot specified has media in it. Reservation can only be performed on an empty slot.
ERROR_SLOT_NOT_PRESENT	A cleaner slot is not reserved. The slot specified is currently not installed in the library. This error occurs if at least one cartridge magazine is missing from the library.
ERROR_SUCCESS	The function was queued successfully.

Remarks

The slot reserved with the ReserveNtmsCleanerSlot function must be present and empty. The library must not already have a slot reserved for a cleaner cartridge.
